Best Ever Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

sift together:
1c. ww flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cocoa

cream together:
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup hazelnut butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Stir in:
1/4 cup unsweetened yogourt

beat in:
1 egg

preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare baking sheet. beat wet ingredients until light and fluffy, this will require some effort as the hazelnut butter will not want to dissolve smoothly. stir in dry ingredients. (duh)

drop batter from teaspoon about 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, eh voila!

these cookies have a soft brownie like consistency, if you prefer a crispier cookie you might try replacing the baking powder with baking soda and reducing the brown sugar by half, replacing it with white. all measurements are merely suggestions-anyone who knows me is aware that i never measure anything precisely. And of course, in any recipe that i possibly can i will replace things like white flour and sour cream with "healthier" alternatives, again merely suggestions though try it, you'll probably like it.
