Hazelnut Chocolate Cookies with Toffee

Hazelnut Chocolate Cookies recipe by Giada is on our favorite desserts list. Toffee is mixed into these cookies too. SO good.

We love hazelnuts in these parts.  For more hazelnut recipes, you might want to try Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Hazelnuts, and Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies with Hazelnut Flour.  We also love chocolate cookies including our Chocolate Sugar Cookies, Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies and Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies.

These hazelnut chocolate cookies are the perfect solution when you're searching for a yummy cookie recipe with hazelnuts.

I love the chocolate covered toffee bits and oats that are included in this decadent hazelnut cookie recipe.  Its such an awesome combo.

Chocolate chips, toasted hazelnuts, chopped up heath bar.....does it get any better than that??

Well, maybe chocolate mixed with peanut butter....tough choices. I love the way this recipe yields a slightly crispy on the outside, yet very chewy on the inside texture.  The cookies were even better the next day.

Because the toffee pieces are covered in chocolate, these are better than your average toffee chip cookie.

Tips for these delicious cookies:

1. I increased the amount of heath bar to 8 oz from the original recipe's 4 oz.  Honestly, I could have put in 12 oz (three heath bars), and it still would not have been too much toffee. 🙂
2. Be sure to toast the hazelnuts.  The woodsy flavor really adds to the multiple flavors in this cookie that make it so special.

This is now my go to recipe to cure cravings for toffee or hazelnuts.

Hope you enjoy it too!
