Round chocolate cookies on a metal cooling rack; one bite was taken from one of the cookies. A jar of Nutella is standing on the background.

Nutella cookies

Crispy on the edges, with a fudgy and chewy middle, these Nutella cookies are a dreamy dessert for chocolate lovers. The cookies are easy to make, and you won't need any special equipment for them.

Equipment

  • Digital kitchen scale
  • Rubber spatula
  • Stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer and a large mixing bowl or use a metal whisk and a bowl
  • Mixing bowl
  • Parchment paper
  • Plastic wrap

Ingredients

  • 160 g bread flour
  • 10 g Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 100 g unsalted butter
  • 70 g white granulated sugar
  • 70 g light brown sugar
  • 100 g Nutella
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • In another bowl, cream together the butter and Nutella using a metal whisk or a hand mixer. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
  • Add the white and brown sugar and whisk well.
  • Add the egg and vanilla, and whisk until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients mixture and mix until no dry ingredients are left using a rubber spatula. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and freeze for 30-60 minutes, or until the dough is no longer sticky and can be rolled into balls without difficulty.
  • Form 15 dough balls (approximately 35g each), and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing the balls about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies in two separate batches for 12-13 minutes or until the cookies are very puffy and have finished spreading.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 15-20 minutes. Transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store them at room temperature for up to one week. I recommend placing them on a plate and loosely covering them with plastic wrap instead of storing them in an air-tight container so that the moisture can escape, leaving the cookies crispy on the edges.
Store the dough in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freeze the dough or cookies for up to 2 months.
