These never stay in the house very long when Hannah makes these.

1/2 c minus 1TBS. butter
1/4 c light brown sugar
1/4 c sugar
1 egg lightly beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 TBS milk
1/2 c hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
2 oz milk chocolate,coarsely chopped

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Cream the butter with both types of sugar in a bowl, then beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and pinch of salt in another bowl, then sift into the creamed mixture, beating constantly with a wooden spoon. Add milk. Stir in the hazelnuts and chocolate. Scoop dough by the tablespoon for each cookie, space well apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for about 7-8 minutes.

Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and let cookies cool slightly, then remove the cookies with a spatula and let cool on a wire rack.
