Ingredients
250g salted butter
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup (white) sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1tsp vanilla essence
150g hazel nuts
2.25 cups plain flour
0.75 cup oats
200g dark chocolate chunks
200g white chocolate chunks
Preparation
Roast or grill the hazel nuts. Cool. Grind to a rough powder. (If you’re using salted hazelnuts, reduce the added salt to half a teaspoon.)
Break chocolate into chunks.
Cream the butter and 2 sugars. Add the eggs - and cream again. Mix in the salt and vanilla.
Mix in flour, oats and powdered nuts. Mix in chocolate chunks.
Put cookie dough in the fridge to get cold - about 2 hours at least.
Set oven too 200 celcius.
Form dough into egg-shaped balls - and place on a greased baking tray.
Bake for 16 minutes - or until golden-brown.
Remove and cool.
Served best warm or fridge-cold.
