Ingredients
Full information on ingredients and quantities is in the recipe card at the end of the post.
Sugar: I use a mix of granulated sugar and light brown sugar in making these cookies not only to sweeten the cookies but also to give these cookies a golden color and flavor.
Butter: I use unsalted softened butter.
Eggs: I use just one large eggs at room temperature.
Flour: I made this recipe with all-purpose flour (plain flour).
Baking soda: Baking soda is a leavening ingredient that helps the cookies to rise while baking.
Milk chocolate chips: You can opt to use milk chocolate chips, or you can break your favorite milk chocolate bars into large chunks for chunky chocolate chips.
Hazelnuts: Hazelnuts add an earthy, nutty flavor to your cookies. They also provide a crunchy texture along with the chocolate chips. I use chopped hazelnuts. However, you can use whole hazelnuts if you want.

How to Make Hazelnut Cookies with Chocolate Chip
One: Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
Two: Place the hazelnuts in a sealed Ziploc bag and crush them with the rolling pin until they are small chunks, you may use the food processor if you want.

Three: In a medium bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using the electric mixer until fluffy.
Four: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.

Five: Mix in flour, salt, and baking soda and then stir in hazelnuts and chocolate chips until the dough comes together.
![Scoop tablespoons of the dough and roll them into balls and bake.](https://recipetale.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/hazelnut-cookies-3.jpg)
Six: Scoop tablespoons of the dough and roll them into balls, and then put them on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between the cookies to spread.
Seven: Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown, then remove the baking tray from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
Tip: After 10 minutes of baking, lightly touch your cookie; you should not leave imprints on it. The color should also be light brown to golden. That's how you know it's done.

Success Tips
- Make sure to line your sheet pan with baking parchment; this will prevent your cookies from sticking to the tray.
- Make sure that when putting your cookies in the tray, you leave spaces in between them. Cookies tend to flatten as they rise, if you don’t leave enough spaces in between, they will stick to each other.
- Try, as much as possible, to have your cookies be the same sizes. This will ensure that during your baking, all your cookies are baking evenly. I used a cookie scooper for this purpose, if you don’t have one a mini-ice cream scooper will do.
- I usually keep them from 3 to 5 days in an airtight container at room temperature.

How To Freeze Them
To freeze the cookie dough: After I portion the batter onto a baking sheet with the cookie scoop, I freeze the unbaked cookies. I then store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer for 1-2 months. When ready to enjoy, I can bake them as desired.
To freeze the baked cookies: I put parchment pepper between the baked hazelnut cookies and store in an airtight container or plastic bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature.
