Ingredients

• 150 grams Hazelnuts
• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 180 grams All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 100 grams Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant. Allow to cool slightly, then rub them in a clean kitchen towel to remove the skins. Roughly chop the hazelnuts and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips (if using).

Step 8

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week. Enjoy!
