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.
- 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.
- 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.
Thank you for the (extra speedy) response! I will bake them off just as they are. For the record, the batter is delicious ;)
These looked so delicious for this rainy afternoon here. I am making them now and am just wondering, is there really NO flour in this recipe? They look amazing, but I just want to be sure they bake up correctly for me .. TIA
Correct, there is no flour. Seems odd, but it works!
You’re killing me!
Maybe in my post-op state I can be allowed the spoon of peanut butter. ;)
Pinning for when I haven’t just had two wisdom teeth pulled…

I did the same thing last night!! Freud container sent me 24 large jars and 12 mason jars and I dug out my entire pantry and throw away an ungodly nunmber of ziplock bags and WHY did I have 5 bags of almonds?? Oh, yeah, because it was such a mess I couldn’t find anything and I just kept buying more.
These cookies look amazing!
