Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Hazelnut meal (finely ground hazelnuts)
• 0.25 cups Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, hazelnut meal, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into small balls. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 8

Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have crinkled. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as they cool.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your soft, chocolatey hazelnut crinkles!
