Method

  1. In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

  2. Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time and beat until combined.

  3. Blitz the hazelnuts in a food processor until ground to a fine powder (stop grinding once they are powdery, as if you continue they will become a paste). Roughly chop the remaining hazelnuts.

  4. Add the hazelnuts, flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and chocolate and mix until just combined.

  5. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for at least 3 hours.

  6. When ready to bake roll the dough into golf size balls, flatten slightly and bake for around 20 minutes or until golden brown on the edges and pale and slightly soft in the center. Cool on a wire rack.
