Roast and cool the hazelnuts. Grind the hazelnuts into 1/2 cup hazelnut butter. 

Step 1:  

Heat the butter for 30 - 40 seconds or until the butter has melted with some partially melted pieces floating in the melted butter.

Step 2:  

In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt until well combined. Set aside for now.

Step 3:  

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together the partially melted butter with the light brown sugar and granulated sugars on medium speed for 2 - 3 minutes or until the butter and sugars are well combined.

Step 4:  

On low, cream in the hazelnut butter, egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Gently fold in the milk chocolate chips or chopped chocolate until combined. Cover the cookie dough and transfer to the fridge to chill for 1 - 2 hours.

Step 5:  

Scoop the cookies onto a lined baking sheet. Top with more chocolate chips if you like. Bake at 375 for 10 - 12 minutes. 

Step 6:  

Cool the chocolate hazelnut cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely to room temperature and enjoy.
