Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut butter (includes nutella)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 cups white or whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup crushed hazelnuts (optional, and certainly recommended if available)

Preheat oven to 350˚. Cream nut butter, butter and sugar together. Beat in egg until fluffy. Combine all dry ingredients (not including the hazelnuts). Stir into butter/sugar mixture until no streaks are left. Fold in the hazelnuts, if using. Scoop dough onto greased cookie sheet in tablespoon sized balls. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until firm on top, and slightly browner around edges.
