Oat cookies are just the best! These here with hazelnuts and chocolate are absolutely delicious! Easy to make and great to snack on. We LOVE these cookies!
Ingredients
1/2 cup (120g) butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup (100g) sugar (fine)*
1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar*
1 medium egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract*
1 1/4 cups (100g) rolled oats*
1 cup (130g) spelt flour*
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
6 oz. (170g) semi-sweet chocolate*, chopped
5.3 oz. (150g) hazelnuts, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set it aside. The cookies are better when you use roasted hazelnuts. In case you want to roast the hazelnuts, place them on the baking sheet and let them roast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes. Take them out, place them in a damp kitchen towel, and let cool down for a moment, then remove the skins. Chop finely and set aside.
2. Add the butter and sugars to a large bowl and mix on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Next, add the rolled oats and mix until just combined. Mix the spelt flour with baking powder, baking soda, and salt and add to the bowl – mix until just combined. Add the chopped chocolate and chopped hazelnuts and fold in.
3. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoons to place dough portions on the prepared baking sheet with enough space in between. Flatten the dough slightly and bake the cookies for about 10 minutes – the edges should have gotten a tiny bit of color, but the centers of the cookies should still be soft. Take them out of the oven and let them cool down on the baking sheet for some time, transfer to a wire rack and let them cool down completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Notes
Enjoy baking!
