3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup creamy unsalted hazelnut butter

1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 12-ounce package semisweet mini chocolate chips (2 cups)

Sift first 4 ingredients into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter, hazelnut butter, and both sugars in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Soften dough slightly at room temperature before shaping.

Oh, no! I'm sorry that they didn't work out better for you. You're not alone--my cookies failed yesterday, too. Still working on the post... Here's to a better baking day today! =)
ReplyDeleteHow did they taste? If they tasted good, they are not a fail. Do you know what they do to food to make it photo ready sometimes? It's completely inedible after photo shoots!
