Dark Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies

Dark Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies


This was the first cookie recipe I baked when we stayed at the cabin during our vacation in California. I never used hazelnuts with chocolate chips before, and these cookies tasted so amazing and I will make them again. I think dark chocolate chips were the perfect combination with the hazelnuts. I am a huge fan of Ghirardelli chocolate and have been using this brand for many years. The cookies have a chewy texture, and are filled with dark chocolate chips and hazelnut pieces. You can substitute with any nut, but I recommend you make them with hazelnuts as they are pure decadence. If you cannot eats nuts, leave them out completely. One of the best things about baking cookies is you get to eat the first one warm. Happy baking!

The dark chocolate chips pair so well with the hazelnuts

Turn the mixer to low speed, and gradually add the flour mixture and mix until combined.

With a spatula, fold in the dark chocolate chips and hazelnuts.

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form and place dough balls on baking sheets spacing each one 2 inches apart.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until cookies are set and slightly browned around the edges.

Wait 3 minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Enjoy!
