Hazelnut Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
I was just in the mood for cookies! And while I know that there are a gazillion chocolate chip cookie recipes out there in the world wide web I just couldn’t help myself. These cookies are just too good not to share the recipe with you. What makes these cookies different and special? Hazelnuts, and toffee bits and loads of chocolate chips. Oh and there are oats in there too! So it’s good for you- right? I loaded these cookies up with an entire bag of chocolate chips, roasted chopped hazelnuts, and toffee bits – Skor bits to be precise. And they’re as decadent as they sound. They may not be the classic chocolate chip but they have the makings of a regular baking treat.
Ingredients
Flour – I used all purpose for this recipe. You can substitute gluten free flour at a ratio of 1:1 if you’re gluten free. Toffee – I used Skor bits today but feel free to use any kind of toffee bits you prefer or can find at the grocery store. Hazelnuts – Toasted and chopped up either in the food processor or with a knife. You can substitute this out for any kind of nut you prefer. Sugar – We’re using brown sugar and white granulated sugar today. Both are needed for a cookie with depth and perfect sweetness. Oats – Just old fashioned rolled oats are all you need, feel free to use any kind you have on hand but hold off from using steel cut oats. Butter – Unsalted butter that’s been melted. We want melted as it helps the cookies spread and gives that perfect bite. Eggs – Our binder for this recipe. If you’d like to go egg free you can substitute this for 1/4 cup of unsweetened apple sauce. Vanilla – The secret weapon flavor booster in most baked goods. Extract will work just fine. Baking soda and baking powder – The leavening agent in our chocolate chip cookies to make them tender. Salt – All baked goods need salt, it helps balance the sweetness and ensure our flavors shine. Chocolate chips – I used semi sweet for this recipe but feel free to use whichever chocolate chips you like, chocolate chunks even! Don’t be shy, add your favorite mix-ins, nuts, m&m’s, peanut butter chips, sky’s the limit.

Tips For Making The Best Cookies Every Time
Storing Leftovers
Be sure to store these in an airtight container at room temperature and your chocolate chip cookies will last for 2 – 3 weeks! This will ensure you keep the cookies soft and will prevent them from turning hard. If you don’t have an airtight container, add a slice of bread which will keep them soft. It works the same way as you do with brown sugar.
Can I Freeze My Cookies?
These cookies are perfect for freezing! You can either wrap them individually or place them together in an airtight container. They will last in the freezer for 3 months, just warm them back up in the oven, or simply let them thaw on the countertop, and enjoy whenever the craving hits you!
