Yield Makes about 1 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup firmly packed dark-brown sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup finely chopped bittersweet chocolate (about 2 ounces)
1/4 cup creme de marrons (sweetened chestnut spread), or Nutella

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar on medium until fluffy. Add egg yolk, vanilla, and salt; beat until combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add flour, and beat on low speed until just combined. Stir in chocolate. (Dough can be frozen, wrapped in plastic, up to 1 month; thaw before using.)
  • Form dough into 1-inch balls; place on parchment-lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Using thumb or rounded end of a wooden spoon or dowel, make a deep indentation in the center of each cookie. Fill each with about 1 teaspoon creme de marrons or Nutella. Place in freezer or refrigerator until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Bake until edges are golden and cookies are firm, about 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

I'm not a huge fan of chestnut, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The chocolate flavor is dominant, but the chestnut adds a subtle nuttiness that really complements it. The cookies are also very soft and chewy.
