       1    Egg yolk
   2 1/4 c  All purpose or unbleached

       Bake at 325~F for 10 to 15 minutes or until light golden around edges.
   In small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips, stirring until
   smooth.  Spoon 1/2 teaspoon melted chocolate into center of each cookie**.
   Remove from cookie sheet; light dust with powdered sugar.
   
      Tips:  *If desired, hazelnuts can be toasted before they're ground. To
   toast hazelnuts, spread on cookie sheet; bake at 350~F. for 8 to 10 minutes
   or until skins crack, stirring occasionally. If desired, remove skin. ** If
   chocolate mixture begins to thickens, warm over low heat.
      Note:  Hazelnuts or filberts are sweet, rich, grape-size nuts. These
   nuts have a bitter brown skin that is best removed by heating them at
   350~F. for 8 to 10 minutes until the skin begins to crack and flake. Place
   a handful of warm nuts between layer of a clean dish towel and rub
   vigorously to remove the skin. Hazelnut are usually package whole. They are
   used whole, chopped or ground in all manner of sweets and for texture and
   flavor in some main dishes and salad.
