Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

Chocolate and hazelnuts pair so well together; the creamy, yet firm, hazelnuts, with their distinctive flavor, complement the flavor and aroma of chocolate and cocoa beautifully.
The following cookies use these two key ingredients in different forms: whole hazelnuts flour, along with freshly roasted hazelnuts; dark cocoa powder, and dark mini chocolate chips –  each adding their flavors and textures to the cookies.

The combination of chocolate and orange is one of my favorites. I love to add a bit of orange zest to chocolate mousse or chocolate truffles, to dip candied orange peel in melted chocolate, and more.
