Hazelnut White Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

These tasty treats are easy slice-and-bake cookies, which I find to be a great addition to my freezer. I typically make a big batch and keep extra frozen for when I want something sweet. Pop the cookies in the freezer and when you want cookies slice as many or as few at a time as you want.  Perfect for when you want a cookie all warm from the oven.

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
