Guest Baker Mon's White Chocolate Cookies with Hazelnuts

Made white chocolate chip cookies with hazelnuts using this recipe but tweaked it a bit :-)

Ingredients

• 1-1/4 cups whole hazelnuts, toasted, divided
• 9 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white baking chips

~Preheat oven to 200°C~

1) Coarsely chop 1/2 cup hazelnuts; set aside. 

2) In a bowl, cream the butter and then beat in the sugars. 

3) Add egg and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy. 

4) Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to batter and mix just until combined. 

5) Stir in chips and chopped hazelnuts.

6) Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. 

7) Bake at 170°C in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. 

8) Remove to wire racks to cool & serve :-) 

If you want chewier cookies, use more brown sugar. You can either put whole nuts or chopped nuts, i used whole & chopped nuts. 

Make sure you don't put them too close!
