Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 20 cookies
Course: Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted hazelnuts
  • 2 tablespoons old-fashioned oats
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3/4 stick
  • 6 tablespoons superfine sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted

Method
 

  1. Arrange racks in lower and upper thirds of oven; preheat to 350°. Line 2 rimless baking sheets with parchment paper. Pulse hazelnuts and oats in a food processor until coarase meal forms. Set aside.
  2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add both sugars and honey; whisk until blended and sugar dissolves, 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add nut mixture, flour, and salt; stir until well blended.
  3. Spoon batter by 1.5-teaspoon portions onto baking sheets, spacing 2 1/2" apart. Using your fingertips, pat cookies down to 1/4"-high rounds; push in any jagged edges to form smooth circles. Each cookie sheet should only have about 8-10 cookies on it (these cookies spread out a lot while baking!!) 
  4. Bake, rotating sheets after 6 minutes, until dark golden brown and cookies spread out into a thin layer, 10–12 minutes. Slide cookies carefully onto a wire rack and let cool.
  5. Using a pastry brush, brush half of each cookie with melted chocolate. Let stand until the chocolate is set, about 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight in between sheets of parchment or waxed paper.
