Chocolate Hazelnut Nutella Cookies
Description
Chocolate Hazelnut Nutella Cookies combine a luscious chocolate hazelnut spread with a small amount of flour, resulting in a moist and tender cookie texture. The dough is simply mixed and formed into small balls topped with chopped hazelnuts, then baked at a moderate temperature until the edges firm up and the tops develop subtle cracks, which indicate doneness. The chopped hazelnuts contribute a noticeable crunch and reinforce the nutty flavor inherent in the chocolate spread.
The balance of creamy chocolate and crunchy nuts makes these cookies a satisfying treat, whether served as a snack or dessert with coffee or milk. Their size and texture make them convenient to handle and enjoy fresh.
After baking, it is important to let the cookies cool on the sheet briefly to continue setting before transferring to racks for full cooling, which helps maintain their shape and texture. Storing them in an airtight container preserves their quality for up to a week. The dough can also be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated, allowing the flavors to meld and saving time on baking day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate hazelnut spread like Nutella
- 1 egg large
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup hazelnut chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the chocolate hazelnut spread with the egg until smooth. Add the flour, and mix well until combined.
- Divide the dough into 1 ½ tablespoon-sized balls using a spring-loaded scoop. Sprinkle the chopped hazelnut on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes or until cookie edges have set and the cookie tops are slightly cracked. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to one week.
- You can prepare the dough up to one day in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator before baking.
- Cookies are fully baked when the shiny surface dulls and the edges firm up; remember they continue to cook slightly after removal from the oven, so allow them to cool completely for best texture.
