Nutella, one of my new food loves. I can't believe I had never had it up until a couple months ago. I've tried it on a couple things so far; toast, strawberries, cookies, a spoon. ; ) But I figured it had to be good baked into things too so I started searching for a recipe to make with my beautiful Nutella. I came across this recipe and gave it a try tonight. All I can say is that it didn't disappoint. They turned out fluffy, chocolaty and hazelnutty just like I'd hoped they would.
Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Cookies
2-1/4 | cups flour |
1 | teaspoon baking soda |
1 | cup butter |
3/4 | cup brown sugar |
1/4 | cup white sugar |
2/3 | cup nutella (1/3 cup for cookies 1/3 cup for dizzle) |
2 | eggs |
1 | teaspoon vanilla |
1 | cup hazelnuts (measured ground and toasted) |
2 | cups chocolate chips |
| teaspoons milk (2-3 tsp)
- Cream together butter and both sugars.
- Add eggs, 1/3 cup nutella and vanilla.
- In seperate bowl whisk to combine flour and baking soda and toasted hazlenuts(grind the hazelnuts and toast them in a frying pan on medium low heat stirring constanly about 10 minutes, cool).
- Add flour mixture to creamed butter and sugar.
- Add chocolate chips, careful not to over mix.
- Measure one tablespoon of dough (flaten just a little) on a ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375 for 9 minutes.
- Cool on cookie sheet for one minute. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
- Once cooled make drizzle for the top. Combine the remaining 1/3 cup nutella with 2-3 tsp of milk over simmering water (double boiler).
- I used a plastic ziplock bag and poked a hole in one corner with a toothpick, Squeeze a zig zag design on top. Cool completely.
- Can be stored in a air tight container, with wax paper between layers and frozen.
* I baked for about 12 min and also didn't do the hazelnut drizzle on top. I read that it didn't set up well so decided not to do that step. I also omitted the hazelnuts since my husband doesn't like nuts in cookies. I think they would have made the cookies even better though. Original Source: Recipe Zaar
