Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter (softened) Room temp is key for creamy, fluffy dough.
- 1 cup brown sugar Adds rich, caramel flavor and chewiness.
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar For that classic cookie sweetness.
- 2 large eggs Extra yolk means extra richness!
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract Use pure vanilla for depth.
- 1/2 cup Nutella or hazelnut spread The star ingredient; choose a high-quality brand.
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Regular, unbleached flour works best.
- 1 tsp baking soda Ensures perfect rise.
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt Balances sweetness.
Additions
- 1 cup chocolate chips Semi-sweet preferred, but dark enhances flavor.
- 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts Toast for extra flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla.
- Mix in Nutella until fully combined.
Combining Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts.
Baking
- Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of dough per cookie, roll into balls, and space them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges look lightly golden but centers are still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Chill the dough for 30-60 minutes before baking for ultra chewy cookies. Toasting hazelnuts enhances their flavor.
