Things You'll Need to Bake Chocolate and Hazelnut Cookies
2/3 large baking sheets
Reusable baking mats or baking paper
A wire cooling rack
Small ice cream scoop (helpful but not essential)
Baking Tips
Use an ice cream scoop to divide up the cookies, this makes sure they're all the same size and its less messy.
Test the edge of the cookie when you think they are baked, if its firm to touch they are baked (but should still be gooey in the middle)
The cookies continue to bake on the sheet when cooling, so don't worry if you think they're slightly under baked.
Add a couple of minutes onto the bake time if you prefer you cookies with a slight crunch.
