These homemade Nutella Cookies are heaven for chocolate lovers. The chewy Nutella cookies are tender and delicious with their chocolate chips and chopped hazelnut pieces, but the homemade Nutella chips take them over the top. They're perfect with a hot cup of coffee or dunked into a mug of hot cocoa! 


Ingredients

For the Nutella chips:

  • 3/4 cup (215 grams) Nutella

For the Nutella cookies:

  • 2 cups (240 grams) all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup (66 grams) natural cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon  baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon  salt
  • 2/3 cup (190 grams) nutella
  • 1/2 cup (114 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (165 grams) dark brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon  vanilla
  • 1/2 cup (90 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini or regular
  • 1/2 cup (55 grams) roasted and peeled hazelnuts, chopped

Instructions

Make the Nutella chips:

  1. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the Nutella into a piping bag, cut off the tip, then pipe small chocolate chip sized dollops onto the baking sheet. Place into the freezer to harden for at least 2 hours. Do not remove until right before adding to the Nutella cookie batter.

Make the Nutella cookies:

  1. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium to large sized mixing bowl, add in flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk well to combine, then set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the Nutella, butter, brown sugar and white sugar, then beat with an electric hand mixer until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the eggs and vanilla, then beat again until smooth.
  4. Add in the flour mixture and fold together with a spatula until well-combined.
  5. Add in the chocolate chips, chopped hazelnuts, and frozen Nutella chips, then quickly fold until well-dispersed.
  6. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out your cookies onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover lightly with plastic wrap.
  7. Place the cookies into the fridge to rest for 4 hours (up to overnight).
  8. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  9. Bake the cookies in batches by adding 6 cookie dough balls, spaced 2-3 inches apart, onto the lined baking sheet. Bake for 13-14 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the pan before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely.

  10. Repeat baking in batches with the remaining cookies.

Notes

How to store: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days.

How to reheat: If you prefer a warm cookie, pop it in the microwave for just 5-10 seconds.

How to freeze: Baked cookies can be frozen in a freezer-safe bag for several months. You can also freeze the unbaked dough balls. Let them thaw in the fridge before baking like normal.
