Chocolate Hazelnut Spirals



With these delectable chocolate hazelnut spirals, you can indulge in the irresistible combination of rich chocolate and crunchy hazelnuts. Ideal for satisfying your sweet tooth!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup hazelnuts, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten for egg wash

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy

Add the vanilla extract and salt, and mix until well combined

Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, and knead until a smooth dough forms

Divide the dough into two equal portions, and shape each into a flat rectangle

Wrap them in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C

Roll out one portion of the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick

Sprinkle half of the finely chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips evenly over the rolled-out dough, pressing them gently into the surface

Starting from one of the longer edges, tightly roll the dough into a log, similar to a cinnamon roll

Repeat the process with the second portion of dough, hazelnuts, and chocolate chips

Cut each log into slices, about 1/2 inch thick

Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each spiral

Brush the top of each spiral with the beaten egg wash

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the spirals are golden brown and crisp

Remove from the oven and let the spirals cool on a wire rack

Once cooled, the chocolate hazelnut spirals are ready to be enjoyed!
