Nutella Cookies
I really liked the chewy Nutella chocolate chip cookies I made last month. I had a huge craving for them recently, but rather than make the same ones, I decided to play around with the recipe a little.
When I put chocolate chips in the batter, it makes the cookies thin and uneven from the chips. But remove the chips are you are left with these perfectly flat, round cookies. I love how these look and I love the soft and chewy texture.
I think I like these even better without the chocolate chips. The middle of these cookies take a while to bake. And the cookies are puffy when you first remove them from the oven. But once they cool down, they flatten into the perfect round discs and have a crackly surface.
Nutella Cookies
Ingredients:
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup minus 2 tbsp granulated sugar
½ cup minus 2 tbsp light brown sugar
½ cup Nutella
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 ½ cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. saltDirections:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Cream butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, vanilla, and Nutella.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Then add into the wet mixture until just combined.
4. Drop the dough by large tablespoons onto baking sheet, about 2 inches apart, and bake for about 8 minutes. Cookies are done when the middle section looks cooked. Cookies will be puffy and will sinks down when cooled and create crackly surface.Recipe found on Lovin' From the Oven

Now I hear the jar of Nutella on top of my refrigerator calling to me. These sound amazing.

Lovely! Do you know about how many cookies one batch makes?
Kirbie replied: — February 17th, 2012 @ 1:46 pm
I think it’s around 2 dozen, maybe a few under, depending on the size you make them

I am going to try making these today, they look so yummy!
I was wondering if you could really taste the nutella in these cookies? I’m making them for a friend who is a “nutellaholic” and she wants a strong nutella-y flavor.

Hi Summer- I think you can definitely taste that these cookies have some Nutella in them but it’s not a super strong nutella taste. I’ve had problems getting that super strong Nutella taste in cookies and cakes. The best one with the strong Nutella flavor are ones that have almost no other ingredients, but those cookies suffer in other ways in terms of texture, flavor. I was pretty happy with these but maybe if your friend doesn’t love it you can try another one of my Nutella cookie recipes. I have quite a few.

do you have to add granulated sugar because i dont have any thanks
Kirbie replied: — March 29th, 2012 @ 8:27 am
What sort of sugar do you have? You may be able to substitute but the amount needed would be different.

I just made these cookies today for my husband (and myself of course) who is a Nutella-aholic. We love them. The only problem with them is that there were too few of them! Thank you very much for posting this recipe.

So glad to hear you both enjoyed them! You can always double the batch for next time. =)

I can’t wait to use this recipe…. They look amazing but will they turn out like the ones in the picture and how big would be a good size
Kirbie replied: — May 7th, 2012 @ 2:39 pm
I don’t see why they wouldn’t come out like the picture because that is how mine came out. I would say each dough ball should be about 1 1/2 inch in diameter.

what do you mean by 1 half cup of butter? do you mean half of the stick?
Kirbie replied: — May 9th, 2012 @ 4:16 pm
No. The butter show measurements, including in cups. 1/2 cup is 1 stick of butter. I don’t like to use sticks for measurement since I don’t know what it is in other countries.

Made these last night and they were super soft, chewy, and delicious! My mother doesn’t like Nutella but she LOVED these cookies! Will definitely make more often!
