Customizable Nutella Cookies Recipes

NUTELLA® COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• Cream butter and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until white and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract; beat well. Add chocolate-hazelnut spread and mix completely. Slowly add flour and cocoa powder and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and hazelnuts.
• Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Turn the oven off and allow the cookies to sit in the oven for 2 minutes more.
• Remove cookies from the oven and serve immediately or allow to cool.

NUTELLA-STUFFED COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl.
• Beat together the brown sugar and butter in another large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at time, beating after each addition to incorporate. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated.
• Divide the dough into 18 equal mounds, each about 2 tablespoons, and flatten slightly with wet hands. Put 2 teaspoons of the chilled chocolate-hazelnut spread in the center of each piece of dough, then press and pinch the cookie dough around the spread to form round and sealed balls. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Put 6 chilled dough balls onto each prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 20 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack or plate and serve warm if you'd like. When the baking sheets have cooled completely, bake the remaining 6 dough balls on one of the sheets, then let cool slightly.
• Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
