I am a pretty big fan of Nutella. There are lots of chocolate Nutella cookies out there, so I thought I'd try my hand at making some.
Most of the recipes I have tried in the past either lack flavor or the chocolate overpowers the hazelnut. To combat this and add texture, I decided to add chopped hazelnuts to my cookies. I love nuts, so I added quite a few. I think they were really tasty. Here is my recipe:
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Nutella chocolate-hazelnut spread
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 cup flour
2 Tbsp cocoa powder (I used Dutch process, but you can use regular)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
Cream butter, sugar, and Nutella in a bowl. Add egg and vanilla, mix until combined. In a separate bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Combine mixtures until a soft dough forms, then stir in hazelnuts. Drop by rounded spoonfuls (I used a cookie scoop) onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350ยบ for 8 minutes.
My cookies were chewy with a little crispiness around the edges. Yum!
