Position a rack in the center and preheat oven to 350F. Lightly butter
baking sheets. In a double boiler over hot – not simmering – water, melt
the butter and 8 ounces of the white chocolate, stirring frequently. Set
aside and let cool until tepid.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Beat in the sugars
until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Blend in the tepid
white chocolate mixture and the vanilla.
In a double boiler over simmering water, melt the cream cheese, stirring
occasionally. Blend into the white chocolate mixture. In a medium bowl,
combine the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon; blend into the white
chocolate mixture. Fold in the remaining white chocolate, semisweet
chocolate, and hazelnuts. Spoon by heaping tablespoonfuls, two inches
apart, onto the prepared pans and bake until golden brown and firm to the
touch, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks and cool
completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
