Chocolate-Hazelnut Linzer Cookies

These cookies are a variation on the classic Linzer cookie.  Instead of jelly in the middle of the sandwich, there is a layer of Nutella spread.  The flavor compliments the hazelnuts in the dough.  I altered a recipe I found on MarthaStewart.com.  I didn't roast the hazelnuts as suggested.   As a result, I wasn't able to remove the skins.   This left some small brown specks in the dough, but the cookies still looked fine and tasted great.
