Hazelnut cookies ingredients

Here is the list of ingredients you need to prepare these Hazelnut Crunchy Cookies:

• 1 cup toasted and chopped hazelnuts.
• 1 cup of wheat flour.
• 1/2 cup butter at room temperature.
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
• 1 egg.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips.

How to Make Crunchy Hazelnut Cookies

Step 1: Toast and Chop the Hazelnuts

• Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden and fragrant.
• Let the hazelnuts cool and then chop them finely.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

• In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
• Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue beating until well incorporated.
• In another bowl, combine the wheat flour, baking soda and salt.
• Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix until the dough is smooth.
• Fold the toasted hazelnuts and chocolate chips into the dough.

Step 3: Form Cookies

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using an ice cream scoop or two spoons, place mounds of dough on the tray, leaving enough space between each one, as the cookies will expand as they bake.
• You can flatten each pile of dough slightly with the back of a spoon if you want thinner cookies.

Step 4: Bake

• Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are lightly browned.
• Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
