Chocolate and hazelnut cookies. My favorite combination. These cookies were inspired by simply just picking up a bag of hazelnuts in the baking section at Superstore and impulse buying. Then I had to think of what to make with them.

I also happened to pick up a bag of chocolate chunks too. Rarely is there a shopping trip where those aren’t added to my cart.

And so.

A cookie was born.

And it was good.

Ingredients Needed:

2 1/4 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of butter
1 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 bag of chocolate chunks
3/4 – 1 cup of hazelnuts or filberts

Kick the tires and light the fires to 350 degrees.

How to Make Hazelnut Cookies

  • With a mixer, blend the butter and sugar until creamy and light. Then whip in the eggs and vanilla, mixing again until the batter is light and airy.

  • Bake for 9-10 minutes and let cool on the sheets. They will be soft and chewy and will fall apart if you move them too soon to a rack. When they are ready, move them to a rack to fully cool off.

How to Roast Hazelnuts

  • First, roast your hazelnuts to bring out their flavor. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet and roast in your 350 degree oven for about 10-12 minutes.
  • Every couple of minutes, open the oven, shake the sheet and roll them around so they don’t burn.
  • The hazelnuts should be done when they are golden brown, take them out of the oven and transfer to a plate.

Ingredients
 

  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 11.5 ounces chocolate chunks
  • 3/4 cup hazelnuts

Instructions
 

  • Kick the tires and light the fires to 350 degrees.
  • First, roast your hazelnuts to bring out their flavor. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet and roast in your 350 degree oven for about 10-12 minutes. Every couple of minutes, open the oven, shake the sheet and roll them around so they don’t burn. 
  • With a mixer, blend the butter and sugar until creamy and light. 
  • Then whip in the eggs and vanilla, mixing again until the batter is light and airy. 
  • Blend in your flour/baking soda mix.
  • By now the hazelnuts should be done, take them out of the oven and transfer to a plate. To take most of the skins off, rub a clean tea towel over them, until most of the skins come off. If you leave some on, it’s perfectly fine. Place them in a sturdy bag and crush them into tinier pieces. 
  • Add in the chocolate chunks and the nuts, and stir until just blended.
  • Drop by tablespoonful onto parchment lined sheets.
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes and let cool on the sheets. They will be soft and chewy and will fall apart if you move them too soon to a rack. When they are ready, move them to a rack to fully cool off.

    A bit of extra work roasting the hazelnuts, but it was dang well worth it! I love that the cookie dough is not too sweet.
