How to prepare Cookies with condensed milk with hazelnuts and chocolate chips
To prepare the cookies with condensed milk, hazelnuts, and chocolate chips, start by making the sandy mixture: pour the sifted flour into a mixer along with cold butter cut into pieces 1 and salt 2; pulse for a few seconds until you get a rather coarse and sandy dough 3.
Take the vanilla bean, slice it lengthwise, and use a knife to scrape out the seeds 4. Place the sandy mixture on a work surface, shaping it into a fountain with your hands, then add the vanilla bean seeds 5 and powdered sugar 6.
Add the condensed milk to the center of the fountain 7 and quickly work the mixture until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough 8. At this point, add the hazelnut crumble and chocolate chips 9, setting aside some of the latter to decorate the cookies before baking.
Quickly mix with your hands 10 and form a block; use a spatula to divide it into 4 parts, each weighing 8.8 oz 11, then work each piece to form 4 logs, each about 6 inches long 12.
Wrap each log with plastic wrap, twisting the ends like a candy; place the logs on a tray and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour 13. Then, with a smooth-edged knife, cut the logs into pieces 1 inch thick and weighing approximately 1.2 oz each 14: with these amounts, you should obtain 32 cookies; gently flatten the surface of the cookies with your fingers to give them a round shape 15.
Distribute the chocolate chips you set aside earlier on the cookies, sprinkling them evenly 16. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper 17 and bake in a preheated static oven at 340°F for 20 minutes (or in a convection oven at 300°F for 12-15 minutes). When they are golden 18, take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack; finally, serve and enjoy your cookies with condensed milk, hazelnuts, and chocolate chips.
