Few cookies deliver the perfect balance of crunch, chocolate, and nutty indulgence quite like Chocolate Hazelnut Thumbprint Cookies. Buttery, tender, and delicately crisp around the edges, these cookies are filled with a rich, creamy chocolate-hazelnut spread that melts in your mouth.
The magic begins with a classic buttery shortbread cookie base, gently pressed in the center to create a “thumbprint” well. That little cavity becomes a pocket of pure delight when filled with chocolate-hazelnut spread. Each bite offers a satisfying contrast between the soft, tender cookie, the slightly crisp edges, and the luscious, nutty filling.
Perfect for holidays, gifting, or a sweet treat with your coffee or tea, these thumbprint cookies are simple to make yet look and taste impressively indulgent. They prove that a humble cookie can feel luxurious with just a few thoughtful ingredients.
