Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies

"As Harold took a bite of Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if everything was going to be okay. Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies."

Was watching Stringer Than Fiction the other day. Love this scene. Its the one where Maggie forces Will to eat a cookie. And then she goes on about the list of things than she baked during college. I've never been a Will Ferrell Fan but I have to say that this movie is really good. And Emma Thompson just so effortless in her role as an eccentric author suffering from writer's block.

Watch this movie. Please. And then when you're done, go make yourself a cookie. Or better yet, Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies. Chewy and full of brown sugar goodness, the use of self-raising flour also make these cookies a breeze to prepare.

So what are you waiting for? Go! Bake! And don't forget the glass of milk once you're done :)

Ingredients

125 grams butter
120 grams brown sugar
30 grams white sugar
Pinch of salt
150 grams self-raising flour
2/3 cups chocolate chips
50 grams chopped hazelnuts

Melt butter over a double boiler. Once fully melted, combine with the sugars and salt and blend. Sift in the flour and fold until well incorporated. Add in the chocolate chips and hazelnuts and fold. Drop by the tablespoons onto a baking sheet and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 15-18 minutes (depending on how chewy you want it to be). Remove and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

Prepare a glass of milk. Dunk the cookie inside the milk. Eat the cookie... and enjoy.
