Oregon Hazelnut Butter Cookies

Recipe Ingredients

1 cup	198g / 7oz	Unsalted butter - softened
1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Sugar
2 tablespoons	30ml	Pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons	10ml	Vanilla
2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups	182g / 6.4oz	Finely chopped Oregon hazelnuts
1/2 cup	55g / 1.9oz	Semisweet chocolate chips - (optional)

Recipe Instructions

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar.

Add syrup and vanilla. Mix in the flour just until combined, then fold in the nuts. Shape into two long rolls, about 9 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and wrap them in wax paper.

Chill until very firm, at least 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350F. Cut the dough into 1/4-inch slices and place an inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to brown. Cool on a wire rack. If desired, melt the chocolate chips slowly, stirring often until smooth. Using a butter knife, spread a thin layer of melted chocolate over the bottom of each cookie. Place on wax paper and chill Briefly to harden the chocolate. Peel from the paper and store airtight in a cool place.
