Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
• 1 cup chopped hazelnuts
• Sea salt flakes for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie before baking.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
10. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Tip: For the best flavor, use high-quality chocolate and hazelnuts. If you prefer a sweeter cookie, adjust the sugar to taste.

To ensure your cookies are perfectly chewy, avoid overbaking them. They will firm up as they cool. If you want an extra nutty flavor, toast the hazelnuts lightly before chopping.

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. For a fun twist, try substituting the hazelnuts with almonds or pecans, or add a touch of instant espresso powder for a mocha flavor!
