1.
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan / 200°C conventional. Line a large baking sheet with baking paper.
-
2.
Beat the butter and two sugars together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and extra egg yolk until combined.
-
3.
In a separate bowl, stir the self raising flour, Hazelnut Hot Chocolate, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt together. Tip into the butter mixture and fold everything together to make the cookie dough.
-
4.
Add the chocolate chips and chopped roasted hazelnuts and fold into the dough.
-
5.
Scoop up heaped tablespoons of dough and drop them onto the baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between each so they have room to spread out. This recipe makes 12 cookies in total, so you’ll need to bake them in batches.
-
6.
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes until firm on the outside and set on top. TIP: run a large round cutter around the cookies to scoot them into a perfectly round shape and make them slightly thicker. Leave to cool for 10 minutes on the baking tray then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

7.
For the hazelnut topping, mix the Hazelnut Hot Chocolate, icing sugar and boiling water together to make a thick chocolate icing. If you find that the icing is too thin, add a bit more icing sugar. On the other hand, if the icing is too thick, add a drop more water.

8.
Drizzle the icing into the middle of each cookie and sprinkle the sliced hazelnuts on top.
