Description
These soft and fudgy Nutella cookies combine rich, chocolate-hazelnut flavor with a tender, chewy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup Nutella spread (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 cup finely chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the brown sugar and granulated sugar, and continue beating for another 2 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Beat in the Nutella spread and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the sifted flour mixture. Stir in just until combined.
- Cover the cookie dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop dough balls using a cookie scoop (#40 for medium-size cookies) and bake for 12-14 minutes.
- Roll each cookie dough ball in the finely chopped hazelnuts and place them on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until cookies are set but still soft in the center. Allow to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Adjust baking time based on scoop size.
- Refrigerating the dough enhances flavor.
- Store cookies in an airtight container.
