Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup ground filberts (hazelnuts)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup white chocolate chips (for decoration)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the ground filberts and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Take roughly 2 tablespoons of dough and shape it into a football-like oval. Place each cookie on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers will appear slightly underbaked, which is fine.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring between each session, until smooth.
Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag or a sealable plastic bag with the tip snipped off. Decorate the cooled cookies with football laces or any design you like.
Let the white chocolate set completely before serving or storing the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
