Tips
- • - **Don't skip the freezing step**: It's essential for achieving a perfect molten center.
- • - **Shape your cookies** midway through baking with a round cutter for a neat look.
- • - **Too soft to shape?** Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour before forming cookies.
- • - **Customize them**: Replace hazelnuts with pecans, macadamia nuts, almonds, or pistachios.
- • - **Try different molten fillings**: Use caramel, praline, hazelnut spread, or even a piece of milk chocolate in the center.
