Peanut butter chocolate hazelnut oatmeal cookies are bursting with your favorite cookie ingredients all in one cookie!
Do you want to lick the screen?
I don’t know what it is but every couple months, I stare into my pantry and get this overwhelming feeling. And then I start to get really antsy. And then I literally take everything out of it and start chucking things in the trash that are either expired or something I don’t use anymore. And then once I’m done, I look at what I’ve reorganized and breathe and suddenly feel so much better. It’s amazing how much you can stuff in a pantry and never see again. It’s also amazing how much you FIND when you clean it out. Just last night, I went to the store to buy shredded coconut flakes. I bought two large bags for a project I’m doing this weekend. What do I find while cleaning the pantry? Oh, a large bag of shredded coconut flakes. Of course!
These cookies are kind of like cleaning out the pantry. I feel like there’s so much in these cookies that’s it’s like throwing all your pantry extras in here. You know, kinda like the clean the fridge dinner that you do every now and then with everything that’s about to go bad. But this cookie isn’t exactly made with stuff that’s about to go bad, it’s just made with a bunch of ingredients but that’s what MAKES this cookie SO good. If you’re into crunchy textures, nuts, oats, and a bunch of peanut butter, then this cookie has your name written all over it.
I’m a die-hard lover of hazelnuts. I’ve always been. Hazelnut syrup, hazelnut creamer, hazelnut everything. And yet I’ve never baked with hazelnuts before. Such a shame. Until now. I just love them in everything! Especially chocolate chip cookies.
Did I mention how obsessed I am with these cookies? Well, I am. They’re so chunky and every bite has a bit of oomph to it.

- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar

Then add in the eggs, beating well after each egg, then finally the vanilla extract and beat for 2 more minutes.1/4 cup (57 g) unsalted butter, 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar, 3/4 cup (165 g) dark brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Add the peanut butter and baking soda and mix until well incorporated. Then add the oats, hazelnuts, and chocolate chips. If it seems like your mixer is straining a bit, you can stop it and do it by hand, but it should be ok with the mixer.9 ounce (255 g) chunky peanut butter, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 3 cups (243 g) old fashioned oats, 1 cup (120 g) chopped hazelnuts, 1 cup (180 g) mini chocolate chips
- Using a large cookie scoop, drop dough onto lined baking sheets and gently press down to flatten the tops with a fork.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes depending on how large your cookies are. You’re looking for the edges to be slightly brown and crisp.
- Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then move to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container.
Mmmm! Cookies!
Hazelnuts are awesome but we just don’t see them as often as we should! Your cookies sound stellar especially with pb :)
YES, I am a huge fan of “clean out the pantry” recipes, so why not do the same with dessert?? Great thought. And the chunkier the cookie, the better. I’ve never combined PB AND Hazelnuts. Looks like I’ve been missing out!
These look yummy! Do you think I could freeze them?
Yup!
Love EVERYTHING about these babies!
Oh my goodness, Julie! I need to place an order for a dozen, please! :)
I just cleaned out my pantry earlier this week too. I hate when it doesn’t seem organized. Now if I could just keep it that way. These cookies look amazing! I can see why you are obsessed with them.
These look to die for! Ive never had hazelnuts in cookies but I now want to run out and get them just to make these! YUM!
I’m the same, I’m overdue a clear out! the texture of these cookies sound great!
OMG stop these look too delicious!!! I just wish hazelnuts weren’t so expensive!
Trader Joe’s, if you have one!! They sell a huge bag and I think it was only $7.
