Ingredients You Need

• cold butter, cut into cubes
• brown sugar
• granulated sugar
• eggs
• vanilla extract
• all-purpose flour
• rolled oats
• cornstarch
• baking soda
•  salt
• Butterscotch, semi-sweet chips and white chocolate chips (½ cup of each)
• 1 bag Lindt Nutella Truffles

Instructions How to Make Hazelnut Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies

Special Note: These cookies are 1/4 cup cookies, not 1 heaping tablespoon cookies, although it’s up to you how big or small you want to make them.  You will have to reduce your baking time if you make them smaller and keep the truffle size in mind when you are deciding what size you want your cookies.  If the truffle is bigger than the cookie, it could get messy.

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare 2 baking sheets lining with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together cold butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition and then mix in your vanilla.
3. Add flour, oats, cornstarch, baking soda, salt and stir until combined. Stir in chips.
4. Scoop dough out using ¼ cup using a cookie scoop and place 6 on a baking tray. 
5. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown on the top. 
6. Take baking sheet of cookies out of oven and and place chocolate on top by placing in oven for 15-45 seconds or however long it takes to get the chocolate to start melting, then take out of oven. It’s ok if the chocolate melts down the cookie a bit. I got some that had chocolate on the bottom, YUM!
7. Let them rest for at least 10-minutes to set before transferring to a baking wire rack. 
8. Indulge!

More Variations

• Change the chocolate chips out, add dried fruit, toffee, sprinkles, a different chocolate bar on top, toffee chips, candies…The list could go on…I hope I’m not boring you with my add-in addiction ideas.
• It isn’t imperative you absolutely have to the truffles or you can’t make these cookies because you don’t have truffles in the house.  You could easily add a chunk of your favorite candy bar on top!  However, they are just as delicious without the truffles, but during the holidays, I think it’s a must, don’t you? 🙂

In conclusion, the ultimate hazelnut butterscotch oatmeal cookies are the perfect combination of flavors and textures, making them a crowd favorite.

Remember, whether you’re baking for a special occasion or just for a sweet treat, these cookies are a delicious and indulgent option. So why not take some time to whip up a batch and enjoy the satisfying crunch of the oats, the rich sweetness of the butterscotch, and the subtle nuttiness of the hazelnuts.
