Salted Hazelnut Thumbprint Cookies
Hazelnuts do double duty in this cookie recipe.
Hazelnut flour adds nuttiness to the dough, while chocolate-hazelnut spread is used for the filling.
A touch of fresh orange zest and juice adds a sweet note to balance the nut and chocolate flavors.

These cookies require just three ingredients!
Cut out cookies with 2 1/2- to 3-inch cookie cutters.
Transfer the cookies to the prepared pans, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart.
William Dickey
Reroll any dough scraps and continue cutting out cookies until all the dough is used.
Bake until just beginning to brown along the edges, 9 to 12 minutes.

Candied grapefruit peels add an extra flavor contrast as well as a pretty finish.
A chocolate chip in each bite adds to the rich chocolate flavor.
