Hey cookie lovers! Get ready to indulge in a batch of gooey, chocolatey goodness with a twist of Nutella. These cookies are not just any cookies—they're like a hug for your taste buds with their rich hazelnut flavor and the perfect touch of salt. Whether you need to satisfy a late-night craving or bring something special to a friend's place, these cookies will have everyone asking for seconds (and the recipe!).
These Nutella Cookies are an absolute breeze to whip up, and the best part? You probably already have all the ingredients in your pantry! Turn on some music, grab your mixing bowl, and let's bake some magic into your day. Trust me, that heavenly smell wafting from the oven will be your new favorite fragrance.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups Nutella
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (if you're feeling extra indulgent)
- A pinch of flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Directions:
Fire up your oven to 350°F to get it nice and hot.
Grab your stand mixer, or just a regular mixing bowl and a hand mixer will do the trick. Put the Nutella and brown sugar together and beat them on medium speed until they look glossy and irresistible. That should take about 2 minutes.
Throw in the egg and yolk, and give it a good mix. Make sure to scrape the sides so everything's well-blended. No one wants to miss out on Nutella goodness.
Slowly add in that flour and mix until it's all smoothed in. Take a peek at the bottom of the bowl to catch any sneaky flour hiding down there.
If you're going all out, now's the time to fold in those chocolate chips. They're optional, but let's be real—who doesn't want more chocolate?
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Take small scoops of dough—about 1 1/2 tablespoons each—and roll them into balls. Press them gently with the bottom of a glass to give them that perfect cookie shape.
Pop them in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. You're looking for edges that are set and just not shiny anymore.
As soon as you pull them out, sprinkle on a bit of that fancy flaky sea salt. It's the secret touch that makes these cookies next-level delish.
Let them sit for a hot minute, about 3 minutes right on the sheet. Then transfer to a cooling rack.
Dive in while they're warm, or if you have superhuman self-control, wait until they're cool. But let's be honest, who can wait when Nutella Cookies are on the line? Enjoy!
