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.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Hazelnut Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (165 g) dark brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 9 ounce (255 g) chunky peanut butter
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups (243 g) old fashioned oats
- 1 cup (120 g) chopped hazelnuts
- 1 cup (180 g) mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. 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.
Do you want to talk about how I literally eat spoonfulls of peanut butter everyday? It’s a surprise and shock I’m not morbidly obese.
And hazelnuts? I’ve never used them but am willing to try based on these cookies!
We cleaned out our pantry over Christmas break – so liberating! Love to just open the door, and know what is in there, and have everything in its place!
hazelnuts and oatmeal cookies – 2 of my favorite things!
All of my favorites and hazelnuts – a new obsession I’m dying to use more after a recent trip to Oregon!
JULIE! These cookies…?! Ah, I need them! Hazelnuts are my favorite in baked goods.
This is totally weird, but the exact same thing happened to me last night too! I went to the store to buy coconut flakes because I am making cookies this weekend. Well, came home to clean out the pantry….I had TWO bags in the dang pantry! ERRRRR. These cookies look amazing! And good call on halving the pb amount:) Also, apparently we both got the hazelnut memo today! Have a great weekend!
yes I did want to lick the screen :) I overbuy and crowd my pantry all the time. I recently did a major clean out too and found like 9 bags of brown sugar and more cornmeal than I will ever use in a life time. I gotta get more organized! Cookies are phenomenal.
Ha! I do the same thing. We have some funny meals that come out of “clean out the pantry” day. I love these cookies. Oatmeal are my all-time favorite!
I love EVERYTHING about these cookies. I guess because they are everything-cookies. I always love those best. Lots of textures and crunch and different flavors. And….I also adore hazelnuts!
I can see why you are obsessed with these!
Oh my goodness — your closeups are too irresistible! These look amazing!
