Directions

• In a large bowl, beat butter on medium -high for 30 seconds. Add sugar and salt and beat until combined, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and cocoa until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the remaining flour and the hazelnuts.
• Divide dough in half and shape each portion into a 11″ log and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 1-2 hours or until firm enough to slice.
• Preheat the over to 375. Cut logs into 1/4″ slices. Place slices 1″ apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 7-9 minutes or just until tops are firm to the touch. Cool on wire rack.
• In a small saucepan or in microwave, combine the chocolate and shortening until melted. Drizzle melted chocolate over cookies and let cool.
