Ingredients

1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ounces English toffee candy (recommended: Heath or Skor bar), finely chopped
1 cup hazelnuts, toasted, husked, and chopped
1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with parchment paper. Finely chop the oats in a food processor. Transfer the oats to a medium bowl. Mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir just until blended. Stir in the toffee, hazelnuts, and chocolate chips.

For each cookie, drop 1 rounded tablespoonful of dough onto sheet, spacing 1-inch apart (do not flatten dough). Bake until the cookies are golden (cookies will flatten slightly), about 15 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely. (The cookies can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)

Crispy and chewy

Crispy on the outside and chewy in the inside. Great texture and flavor. Perfect cookies...and so easy to make.

Great flavors, but be careful of overbaking
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I've made these cookies several times now, but it took a few tries to get the hang of it. The first time I made it, I... followed the recipe to the T, but the cookies ended up being a little too tough. My oven tends to get a little hotter than others, so 10-11 minutes is the perfect time...crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. I just pull the cookies out when they are still soft in the middle and allow them to cool and they turn out perfect. Also, I actually like almonds in there more than the hazelnuts. But the combo of the toffee, chocolate chips, and nuts is such a great combo! Read more

Delicious!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My favorites, so good! I made a double batch and froze the extra. I didn't put as much hazelnut in because I over toasted... 1/2 of them. They were still so good. Wound up having to cook the extra dough and give them away because it was too dangerous to keep in the freezer. I toasted the hazelnuts in the oven, next time I'll so it stove top to keep a closer eye. I'll refrain from pulverizing the oats per other reviews to see how that affects the cookies. Regardless, everyone loved these cookies. I will absolutely be making these again! I basically rode Giada's coat tails this xmas with these, lemon ricotta cookies, peppermint wheels and chocolate chunk pine nut cookies. Thank you Giada!!Read more

A little disappointed...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I wasn't crazy about these. Although I really liked the combination of hazelnuts and chocolate chips and the overall flavor... was good, I didn't care for the texture - too crispy. Just personal preference. Read more
