Instructions: Preheat the oven to 3750F. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Beat Nutella and shortening in a large bowl until combined. Add sugar and mix until combined, beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour and milk alternately and mix until just combined. Stir in the 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts. Cover and chill several hours until firm. Shape dough into walnut-sized balls. Roll in finely chopped hazelnuts, then in confectioners sugar. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes - surface should be cracked and cookies set.
