Chocolate cookies

In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the butter and sieved icing sugar. Mix on medium until well combined. Add the hazelnut flour/powder and then the egg yolks. Melt the chocolate and set aside.
Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the chocolate to the mix using a rubber spatula. Finally mix in the flour and cocoa powder (having sieved both beforehand)
Cooking the cookies

Butter and flour the round molds (roughly 5cm in diameter). Place the molds on a cooking sheet with parchment paper underneath. With a pastry pouch, fill the molds with the cookie mix. Put about 1.5cm thick of the mix so that they don't overflow when cooking. Cook for 17 minutes. While they are cooking, melt the chocolate for the garnish in a steam bath.
Finishing

Gently un-mold the cookies once removed from the oven. Once the cookies have cooled, use a spoon or a decorating pouch with the melted chocolate and make think lines on top of the cookies.
