Nutella Cookies
Description
This Nutella Cookies recipe starts with creaming together softened butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and Nutella to make a moist and flavorful base. An egg and vanilla extract join the wet ingredients to bind everything. Dry ingredients including flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt are whisked together and gradually folded into the wet mixture for structure and slight rise.
After mixing, chocolate chunks are folded in for extra texture and chocolate flavor. The dough is chilled for at least three hours to firm up and prevent excessive spreading during baking. Baking at 375°F produces cookies with a tender, slightly chewy texture balanced by crisp edges. Cooling on the baking sheet helps maintain their structure.
The resulting cookies highlight the hazelnut and chocolate flavors of Nutella, with the chunks adding biting contrasts. They are a rich treat suitable for dessert or snacking.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened to room temperature, unsalted
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar packed

- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet until completely combined -- be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula to ensure that all ingredients are well-incorporated.

- Cover bowl with cling wrap and chill for at least 3 hours.
- Once dough has finished chilling, preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
