Chocolate Hazelnut Butter Cookies

This post is for my friend, Julianne, I promised it days ago, and finally have the time to get it done. This cookie recipe is simple, easy, and lots of fun to play around with-- I've added chopped Hazelnuts with mini dark chocolate chips before, I've rolled the cookie dough balls in powder sugar before baking, I've done Hershey Chocolate Kisses, and have always enjoyed these little suckers!
