Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.

Roll dough into small balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Flatten each ball slightly and create a small indentation in the center.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden.

Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Melt chocolate and drizzle over cooled cookies.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and chopped hazelnuts before serving.
