Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

Recipe

Makes 24

Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

• 120g unsalted butter
• 100g light brown sugar
• 75g caster sugar
• ½ tsp fine sea salt
• 1 medium egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 200g plain flour
• ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 100g milk chocolate chips
• 70g chopped hazelnuts
• 120g Nutella (or other chocolate hazelnut spread)

Method

1. Line two baking trays with baking paper. Pre-heat the oven to 180C.
2. Put the butter and sugars into a bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the salt, egg and vanilla and beat again until smooth.
4. Add the flour, baking powder, chocolate chips, and chopped hazelnuts and mix again to make a smooth dough. (If the dough is looking soft you can place the dough in the fridge for 1 hour to firm up before the next step).
5. Divide the mixture into 24 equal pieces (mine were about 30g each) and roll each bit into a ball. Place them on the lined baking trays, spaced apart enough so they have room to spread.
6. Bake for 7-10 minutes until just starting to go golden brown. Allow to cool and then enjoy!
