Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe for Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookies has peanut butter, hazelnut spread, and three types of nuts added to the dough to make one fantastic cookie!

If you like nuts then these cookies have it covered – Almonds, walnuts, pecans, peanut butter, hazelnut spread, and dark chocolate chips are all packed into these fantastically nutty cookies that are enjoyed best warm with a cold glass of milk!

I wish I could say that the photos did these cookies justice, but they really don’t!  This recipe is one of the best cookie recipes I have ever made!  They are crisp on the outside, chewy in the middle and packed with nuts and chocolate chips!

I have to admit that my latest baked recipes have been inspired by employees at my gym.  It started with bringing in sweet treats for my personal trainer – who shared them with the other personal trainers and employees.  They have all loved my baked goods so much that I’ve asked them what their favorites are to give me my baking inspiration.  These were inspired by my trainer who loves chocolate chip cookies.

I’ve already done quite a few chocolate chip cookie recipes like my Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and my Chocolate Chip Blondies recipe made with the same dough.  I had to think of something else I could do.

Just adding nuts wasn’t enough so I looked in my pantry and found hazelnut spread and peanut butter.  I knew I was on to a winner as soon as I tasted the dough!  I’m telling you I could have eaten it all right then and there!

I ate one warm and let me tell you – it’s the way to go!  Well, you can’t eat then all warm, but you have to try at least one before it cools.
