Makes: 12
Prep time: mins + freezing and 24 hours resting
Cook time: 15 mins

Ingredients
170g (6oz) chocolate hazelnut spread
225g unsalted butter
150g caster sugar
250g brown sugar
2 eggs
3 vanilla beans, halved, seeds scraped
380g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
pinch sea salt
85g (3oz) 70% dark chocolate, chopped
85g (3oz) milk chocolate, chopped
200g dark chocolate chips
sea salt flakes
Method
Divide hazelnut spread between a 12 hole silicone mini muffin tray and freeze until firm.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan and cook until browned and starting to smell nutty.
Transfer to a bowl and place in a bowl of iced water. Whisk in an ice cube, then allow to cool, stirring occasionally.
When cooled, whip the butter over the ice until light, then discard ice.
Beat the sugars into butter until creamed.
Beat in eggs 1 at a time, beating well between each addition until light and fluffy, then beat in vanilla seeds.
Sift flour, baking powder and bicarb together, then mix into butter mixture until a soft dough forms.
Fold in chocolate chips. Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Remove dough from fridge and hazelnut butter from freezer.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions.
Take a portion of dough and shape it into 2 discs slightly wilder than the frozen hazelnut spread.
Press a disc of hazelnut spread in the centre, then cover with the other piece of dough to encase and shape into a round.
Place cookies on a tray or in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Preheat the oven to 190°C fan forced (375°F) and line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
Place cookies on trays, with at least 5cm gap between each for spreading (you may need to bake in 2 batches).
Bake for 15 minutes, without opening the oven door. Sprinkle with a little sea salt as soon as they are out of the oven, then allow to cool for at least 15 minutes on the trays.
