    These are my favourite chocolate chip cookies. Sublime and sophisticated, if a chocolate chip cookie can be sophisticated. Chocolate Chip Cookies with Hazelnuts. Get your fancy pants on.

    Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies with text


    How old were you when you baked your first batch of cookies?

    My mom always baked and I remember helping from a young age. But I don't think I tried it on my own until I was maybe in high school. I'm sure my mom will correct me on this. I do remember sometime in highschool becoming obsessed with baking and regularly making right messes of my mom's kitchen.

    Call this paybacks.

    Zoe has been begging for some new independence lately. She heard that her cousins are allowed to cook certain things. And she wants to learn too. And I'm really excited for her.

    But I'm a bit of a control freak. As much as I like to pretend I'm all calm and cool and patient. I have a hard time going with the flow. There are certain things that just have to be done the-way-I-want-them-done-because-I-know-better. No shocker I'm a bit OCD in the kitchen. I freak out when the lemon zester is in the wrong drawer, or I find a coffee mug where the glasses go. Or when someone puts. the. tongs. away. upside. down.

    So enter Zoe and her first batch of all on her own chocolate chip cookies. I sat back and watched. Mostly. At times I had to sit on my hands to stop myself from helping. You know, like when she measured the vanilla extract.

    I tried not to help here

    or when this happened

    Then this happened ...

    black dog + flour + kids = dusty dog

    But it' okay, because we ended up with these.

    Yes - real butter and eggs. Because these are Zoe's cookies. These are not my cookies. And well, cookies should be what you want them to be and in this case, Zoe wanted cookies that Daddy would like.  I confess - I really, really liked these too. 🙂

    Quantities below are exactly what ended up in this batch. We used hazelnuts because that is what Zoe wanted. They happened to be sliced which added the most sublime texture. A level of sophistication - if chocolate chip cookies are allowed to be sophisticated....

      So proud of you Zoe!! Those cookies look awesome and probably taste soooo good.too!!!
      Your Mommy always wanted to try new recipes and bake. She was good at it. At 14 yrs, She made cheese cakes for family celebrations, only because everyone requested her to do so,always a different cake for the special occasion. She had a nack for cooking, baking and introduced me to herbs and spices. I think you are following her steps--- Grandma loves your interest in nutrition and eating healthy food!
