Hazelnut and Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

We had a snow day in NYC today! When CUNY schools AND my office are closed, you know it’s serious. I was really glad I didn’t have to schlep all way to the city today for one class, although it was French…

Anyway, I slept in today and the first thought I had upon waking up and looking out the window was “Cookies!”

(Yield: about 14 cookies)

Ingredients:

¾ cup all-purpose flour

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

4 oz butter, softened

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup white sugar

1 egg

1½ cups plain oats

2 oz chopped hazelnuts

2 oz dark chocolate, chopped

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.

Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside. Cream the butter and sugars until smooth. Add egg. Then slowly add the flour mixture. When combined, stir in the oats, hazelnuts and chocolate. Place the dough by tablespoons onto the baking sheet, one inch apart.

Bake 12-15 minutes, until they’re golden brown.

Enjoy.
