Like Nutella? Then you'll love this perfect combination of dutch-processed cocoa, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and toasted hazelnuts. Absolutely swoon-worthy.
Ingredients
2¼ cups All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Salt
2 sticks of Unsalted Butter, softened
¾ cup Sugar
¾ cup Brown Sugar, packed
2 large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
4 tablespoons of Dutch-Processed Cocoa
2 cups (1 package) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 Cup Chopped Toasted Hazelnuts
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375ºF and set the rack to the middle position.
Stir the flour, baking soda and salt till mixed and then set aside.
Using a medium mixing speed, cream the butter and sugars till uniformly light in color and creamy.
On a low speed, add the eggs one at a time and then slowly pour in the vanilla.
Add the cocoa to the mixture (a tablespoon at a time) until completely incorporated -- you may have to stop the machine to scrape down the sides, ensuring the cocoa is thoroughly mixed in.
Slowly, add the dry ingredients to the wet.
Stir in the chocolate chips and the toasted chopped hazelnuts.
Use two teaspoons to form small cookie balls and then drop each one onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Cooking time will vary by oven, but bake 9 to 11 minutes or until the tops have started to crack and are no longer "glistening wet." Be careful not to OVER cook as the bottoms will burn.
Notes
How To Toast Hazelnuts Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. On a Baking Sheet, spread the nuts out in a single layer and then toast in your oven for about 15 minutes, stirring once at the halfway point. (keep an eye on them though to make sure they don't burn!) Remove the hazelnuts and let them cool a few minutes. Place the nuts in the middle of a clean, dry towel and then use that towel to rub the hazelnuts between your hands. The skins should come off but you may have a few that are just stubborn. Don't worry about them -- they won't impact the flavor of the cookies and aren't "bad for you."
