This is just a simple variation on the standard Tollhouse cookie recipe, replacing semisweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate chunks and adding 1 cup of chopped hazelnuts. A few other great variations: replace the semisweet chips with chopped peanut butter cups, chopped Butterfinger bars or chopped Heath bars.

Hands on time: 20 minutes  Total time: 45 minutes  Serves: Makes 4 dozen

Ingredients:

    1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    3/4 cup packed brown sugar
    2 eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 (10-ounce) package milk chocolate chunks
    1 cup chopped hazelnuts

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars together until well-combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until fluffy. Add the vanilla extract. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, salt and baking soda, then stir into the butter mixture. Stir in the chocolate and nuts. Drop by spoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges and still just slightly soft in the centers. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
