Time 35m

Yield 10 to 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 egg white
1 teaspoon hazelnut extract
1-ounce hazelnut paste
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, melted but cooled
1 cup chocolate, melted
1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Lightly whip the egg white, hazelnut extract, hazelnut paste, and sugar. Sift the flour and mix into the egg white until smooth. Stir in the butter.
  • Using a template 3 1/2-inch round, spread the batter on a sheet pan lined with a silpat. (If you don't have a template, you can drop 2 teaspoons of batter onto the sheet pan and spread evenly into a 3 1/2-inch circle.)
  • Bake for approximately 5 minutes until the edges become brown. Remove from the oven.
  • One at a time and working quickly, turn a cookie over, place a fortune in the center of the cookie. Draw opposite edges towards the center, slightly overlapping and then fold the ends downwards, in half. You can fold over the rim of a bowl. Cookies will crisp as they cool.
  • When cool, coat the outer rim with melted chocolate and rolled in chopped hazelnuts.
