Ingredients
- 1¼ cup flour all-purpose
- ¼ cup sugar granulated
- ¾ cup sugar light brown
- ½ cup butter unsalted
- 1 unit egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup Nutella
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- ½ cup hazelnuts roasted and peeled
- 2 tsp sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to375°F (190 C°). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift the flour and mix it with all the rest of the dry ingredients: baking soda, vanilla and salt.
- Start by beating the melted butter with the both the brown and the granulated sugar until creamy and smooth. Add the egg and mix until creamy and pale. Add the Nutella.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix everything well and add 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 1/4 cup hazelnuts.
- Take about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it. Place the dough balls on the baking tray, 2 inch (4 cm) apart (see notes).
- Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon. Bake them for 10 minutes or until they are golden brown (see notes).
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. While the cookies are cooling, take the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and the remaining 1/4 cup of the hazelnuts. Carefully press a few chocolate chips and hazelnuts into the tops of the cookies while they are still warm and sprinkle with Maldon sea salt (see notes).
Notes
- I like my cookies to be 2 inches apart so they do not touch while baking.
- Be sure to turn the baking sheet halfway through so the cookies bake evenly.
- The baked cookies will look very soft in the middle when you take them out of the oven. This is perfectly normal.
- Adding chocolate chip and hazelnut in the end is for photo purposes and to make the cookies look cute, but is of course optional.
- Store for 4 days in an airtight container. You can freeze the dough and bake it directly without thawing it.
