This is a cookie you will want to make again and again. I like to take it to church get-togethers and family reunions. It's very delicious—crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. —Denise DeJong, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

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 large egg, room temperature
  • 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

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Coarsely chop 1/2 cup hazelnuts; set aside. Melt 2 tablespoons butter. In a food processor, combine melted butter and remaining hazelnuts. Cover and process until the mixture forms a crumbly paste.
  2. In a bowl, cream the remaining 7 Tbsp. butter. Beat in the sugars. Add egg and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in ground hazelnut mixture until blended. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to batter and mix just until combined. Stir in chips and reserved chopped hazelnuts.
  3. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
