Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup ground hazelnuts (about 1/2 cup shelled nuts)
12 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1/4 cup dark rum
2 large eggs
about 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar for sprinkling cookies

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and hazelnuts. In a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally. Stir in rum and cool. Whisk in eggs and stir in flour mixture. Chill dough, covered, 1 hour, or until firm enough to handle.
  • Halve dough and on a sheet of wax paper form each half into a 10-inch log, using paper as a guide. Chill logs, wrapped in wax paper, 4 hours, or until firm.
  • (After the dough has been formed into a log it can be kept in the refrigerator for one week or the freezer for one month. Thaw the frozen dough in the refrigerator until sliceable, about four hours.)
  • Preheat oven to 350° F. and lightly butter 2 baking sheets.
  • Cut logs into 1/2-inch-thick rounds and arrange about 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven 8 minutes and transfer to racks. Cool cookies completely and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Makes about 36 cookies.

I'm not a fan of chocolate and rum together. These cookies were not for me.

These cookies are a lot of work to make. I don't think they're worth the effort.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as good as the picture. They were too dry.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used chocolate chips instead of walnuts. They were still delicious.

I love that these cookies can be made ahead of time. I made them a few days before my party and they were still fresh and delicious.

I'm not a big fan of rum, so I used vanilla extract instead. The cookies still turned out great!

These cookies were a hit at my holiday party! They're rich, chocolatey, and have the perfect amount of rum flavor. I'll definitely be making them again.
