How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s get to the fun part—making these cookies! Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Nutella, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Add the egg and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the Nutella mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your cookies turn out perfectly:
- For an extra chocolatey flavor, try adding a mix of chocolate chips and chunks.
- Don’t overbake! The cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet after you take them out of the oven.
- If you want to make these cookies even more indulgent, drizzle some melted chocolate on top once they’ve cooled.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, like white chocolate or peanut butter chips!
How to Serve
These Cookies de Nutella e Chocolate are perfect for any occasion! Here are some serving suggestions:
- Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert.
- Pair them with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee for a delightful afternoon treat.
- Bring them to your next family gathering or potluck, and watch them disappear!
- For a fun twist, sandwich two cookies with a layer of Nutella or frosting in between.
Make Ahead and Storage
If you want to prepare these cookies in advance, you can! Here’s how:
- Prepare the cookie dough and scoop it onto the baking sheet. Instead of baking, cover the sheet with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
- When you’re ready to bake, simply preheat the oven and bake the frozen cookies for an extra minute or two.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
