preheat oven to 350 f. line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a non-stick mat. put hazelnuts onto another pan and roast for 5 minutes. remove from oven. remove as much of the skin as you can using a dry towel. chop them and set them aside in a shallow bowl. in a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, cornstarch, powdered sugar, and salt until blended. in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and vanilla until smooth. add the dry ingredients to the butter and mix in slowly until just combined. scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll into a smooth ball. roll in the chopped hazelnuts. flatten slightly then place onto the prepared baking sheet. repeat with the rest of the dough, spacing them about 2 inches apart. make an indentation with your thumb (or knuckle as i do) in the middle of each cookie, being careful not to break through the dough. bake for 9-13 minutes in the preheated oven. remove from oven. let the cookies cool before filling with jam. warm up the jam a little bit for better flow and to get that shine! spoon about 1 teaspoon of jam into each cookie. adapted from the kitchen mccabe.
