These dark chocolate cookies are my go to treat when I want something decadent but don't have all day to fuss in the kitchen. The whole thing comes together in just forty five minutes from start to finish, and honestly, most of that is baking time. Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants that make these cookies feel a little less guilty, and the addition of hazelnuts adds a lovely crunch. Best of all, you probably have everything in your pantry already, so there's no need for a special trip to the store.
