Cookie Munster

These are the ultimate chocolate chip cookie. Unbelievably crumbly and crisp with toasty hazelnuts and molten chunks of dark chocolate. They’re definitely cookies but with my Cork accent it always sound weird saying cookie so I always call them biscuits!

Unbelievable with a glass of milk. Equally gorgeous with a cup of tea. Isn’t everything? Do you know that there are available cookies to send for someone on various occasions? Just check out this site https://www.chocolateshippedcookies.com/ if you are interested to order.

Hazelnut & Chocolate chip Cookies
Based on the basic cookie dough recipe by the lovely Leila Lindholm

Ingredients:
41/2 oz butter, softened
3 1/2 oz demerera sugar
1 egg
3 1/2 oz plain flour
1 oz rolled oats
1/2 tbsp baking powder
4oz dark chocolate, chopped
3oz toasted hazelnuts, chopped

Method:

Beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Mix in the egg.
Mix the flour, oats, baking powder, blend into the dough
Mix the coarsely chopped chocolate and nuts into the dough.
Shape into a log and roll it up in greaseproof paper. Put in the freezer for 30 mins.
Preheat the oven to 180 c.
Cut the roll into 1cm thick slices. Lay them on a a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper.
Bake in the centre of the oven for about 10 mins or until golden.

I don’t really like biscuits where you have to roll them into a ball, flatten with a fork etc. They always seem like alot of hassle. I love recipes like this where you can double the mixture and keep half in the freezer and cut off the slices whenever you have a spare shelf in the oven.

I’m planning on having a scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between two of these chocolate chip hotties next time the sun shines!
