I don't understand how these don't have a higher rating. I've been making these every year for my Christmas party and they are always a huge hit. I do them with Nutella. Last year I decided to try a different cookie and there was a revolt. This year I'll go back to these. They are very easy and soooo yummy. I usually double the recipe because they don't make a lot.

These are my favorite cookies to make with Nutella. I always make them for the holidays...and it's always #1 with kids. I love how this recipe doesn't need a lot of sugar, and enough chocolate :-).

Chocolate Chestnut Cookies
Recipe Summary
Yield: Makes about 1 1/2 dozen
Ingredients
Ingredient Checklist
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup firmly packed dark-brown sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup finely chopped bittersweet chocolate (about 2 ounces)
1/4 cup creme de marrons (sweetened chestnut spread), or Nutella
Variations
Martha has also prepared this recipe by making the cookies smaller: Use a 1 1/4-inch ice cream scoop or a tablespoon. Drop dough onto baking sheets lined with Silpats and roll into 1 1/4-inch balls, spacing about 2 inches apart. Fill each thumbprint with 1/2 teaspoon creme de marrons. (You’ll need 6 tablespoons of creme de marrons instead of 1/4 cup.)

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup firmly packed dark-brown sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup finely chopped bittersweet chocolate (about 2 ounces)
- 1/4 cup creme de marrons (sweetened chestnut spread), or Nutella
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar on medium until fluffy. Add egg yolk, vanilla, and salt; beat until combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add flour, and beat on low speed until just combined. Stir in chocolate. (Dough can be frozen, wrapped in plastic, up to 1 month; thaw before using.)
Form dough into 1-inch balls; place on parchment-lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Using thumb or rounded end of a wooden spoon or dowel, make a deep indentation in the center of each cookie. Fill each with about 1 teaspoon creme de marrons or Nutella. Place in freezer or refrigerator until firm, about 15 minutes.
Bake until edges are golden and cookies are firm, about 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
