Cuisine: American
Serves: 30 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Mix in the Nutella until evenly blended, creating a rich chocolate-hazelnut swirl throughout the batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their soft, chewy texture.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing and texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough cookies instead of soft, chewy ones.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes to ensure even baking.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For extra indulgence, slightly underbake the cookies to maintain a soft, gooey center.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to preserve their incredible texture and freshness.
- For added flavor, try sprinkling a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch.
- If the dough seems too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before scooping.
