Chocolate Hazelnut Russian Tea Cakes, which are really a chocolate shortbread cookie are very good and easy to make. It is important that you toast the hazelnuts lightly in the oven before adding them to the dough. You can buy the hazelnuts in bulk and crack them open with a hammer yourself. It is cheaper than buying them in a package.

Chocolate Hazelnut is a great flavor for Russian Tea Cakes.


INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter, slightly softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup Dutch processed cocoa
1/3 cup finely chopped and lightly toasted hazelnuts
Powdered sugar for rolling OR melted chocolate to drizzle over the top


PREPARATION:
Preheat the oven to 350. Have silpat or parchment covered sheet pans ready. Or you can also use ungreased sheet pans.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until soft, add the powdered sugar and cream until smooth and light, about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl.

Gradually add the cocoa and flour, then add the nuts. Stir until evenly combined.

Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls. I like to use my #100 scoop for small cookies or #70 for small, but slightly larger cookies. Round and place 2-inches apart on sheet pans.

Bake until firm, about 10 minutes. It will be tough to tell by color as they are dark chocolate cookies. They should hold up to a squeeze and be able to be picked up gently.

If you want to roll them in powdered sugar have that ready in a bowl when they come out of the oven. Allow to stand for 1 minute, then roll in sugar while very hot. When cool, roll again in powdered sugar. OR, allow the cookie to cool and drizzle melted semi-sweet or milk chocolate over the tops.
