Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 10–12 Ferrero Rocher chocolates (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Nutella and Eggs: Mix in Nutella, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Fold in Additions: Gently fold in chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Optionally, press a Ferrero Rocher chocolate into the center of each cookie.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden.
- Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Optional Drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies and sprinkle with sea salt for extra flair.
Notes
1️⃣ Chill the Dough: For cookies that hold their shape and have a chewy texture, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This prevents spreading and enhances flavor.
2️⃣ Don’t Overbake: The cookies might look slightly soft in the center when you remove them from the oven. That’s perfect—they’ll firm up as they cool, ensuring a chewy texture.
3️⃣ Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality hazelnut spread and fresh hazelnuts for the best flavor. Premium ingredients truly make a difference in the final result.
