Description

These Oregon-style hazelnut chocolate chip cookies are a delightful twist on the classic favorite. The dough is rich with brown sugar and butter, creating a soft, chewy center with crisp edges. Toasted Oregon hazelnuts add a distinctive nutty crunch and earthy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of semi-sweet chocolate chips. They are ideal for holiday baking, coffee breaks, or as a thoughtful gift. The combination of textures and flavors makes these cookies a crowd-pleaser that feels both rustic and refined. Enjoy them warm from the oven or stored in an airtight container for later.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Lightly grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup softened butter and 1 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and beat until well combined.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 3/4 cup chopped Oregon hazelnuts.
  9. Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
  10. Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork or your fingers.
  11. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are set.
  12. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note

For best flavor, toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until fragrant before chopping and adding to the dough.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze dough balls or baked cookies for up to 3 months.

Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for proper creaming. If the dough is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
