Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped hazelnuts and, if desired, the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear just set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies once cooled and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
