Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Adding toasted hazelnuts and toffee candy bring these chocolate chip cookies to a whole new level. It is so much more fragrant and I like the balance between hazelnut's crunchiness and the cookie's chewiness.


Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup oats
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 ounces English toffee candy, finely chopped
• 1 cup hazelnuts, toasted & chopped
• 1 small bag of semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325º.
2. Chop the old-fashioned oats in a food processor. In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. 
3. In an electric mixer, combine butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture, toffee, hazelnuts, and chocolate chips.
4. Drop 1 rounded tablespoonful of dough on to lined baking sheets. Do not flatten dough. Allow 1-inch space apart from each cookie. Bake until the cookies are golden which is about 15 minutes. Cool completely then serve!
