These are from Giada De Laurentis' show on The Food Network. It's a Halloween themed show as you can tell from the orange sugar. They will remind you of the classic Peanut Blossoms with a fun twist.
Chocolate-Hazelnut Cookies
1 3/4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. chocolate hazelnut spread
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. orange sprinkles or orange sugar
1 (9 oz.) package Hershey's Kisses
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium bowl; combine flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In another medium bowl, place the chocolate hazelnut spread, butter and both sugars. Using a hand mixer, cream ingredients together about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla blending until incorporated. Stir in the dry ingredients, just until incorporated.
Shape the cookie dough into walnut-sized balls. Roll the balls in the orange sprinkles or orange sugar, pressing to adhere. Place the cookies on a heavy cookie sheet about 4 inches apart. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven. Quickly, place a chocolate kiss in the middle of each cookie. Return the cookies to the oven and bake for another 3 minutes. Cool the cookies on a wire rack.
Note: I liked the orange sugar better than the sprinkles.
