Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup butter
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chocolate covered hazelnuts chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper, tin foil or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a large bowl, add the butter and brown sugar. Using a hand mixer, mix on medium-high for 1-2 minutes or until creamed together. Add the white granulated sugar and mix again until incorporated.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix. Add the all purpose flour, salt and baking soda and mix for the last time.
  • Using a wooden spoon or spatula, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped chocolate covered hazelnuts until they are just incorporated.
  • Using a cookie scoop or spoon, distribute 1-2 tbsp of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spread apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will look slightly underbaked but remove them from the oven at this time and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes. As long as the bottoms of the cookies are a light golden brown, they are done! Enjoy!

Notes

Substitutions

  • All purpose flour
    • Gluten free option: use the same amount of 1-to-1 gluten free baking flour instead of all purpose flour.
  • Butter
    • Salted or unsalted butter can be used in this recipe.
  • Chocolate chips
    • You can use mini or regular sized chocolate chips.
    • You could also use chocolate chunks and chop them up finely.
    • I recommend semi-sweet chocolate chips to balance the sweetness of the cookie dough, however you can also use white, milk or dark chocolate chips.
  • Chocolate covered hazelnuts
    • If you do not have chocolate covered hazelnuts, you can use regular raw hazelnuts instead. I do not recommend using roasted hazelnuts.
