Nutella Chocolate Cookies Recipe
Love is in the air ! These chocolate cookies are made for my daughter as an early Valentine's gift. It's partly because I still have a large bottle of Nutella left after making those favourite tangzhong buns. (wink wink)
Every dessert made by Nutella sauce is really tempting. Be cautious that you can’t stop eating one mouth after another. These Nutella cookies are no exception. By adding some chocolate chips and cocoa powder, these cookies are even more addictive. The upside is that these cookies will make you feel refreshed and got mentally energetic again after long hours of work. The texture is quite charming, crisp on edges, slightly chewy in the middle. Taste-wise, they are wonderfully good. No doubt at all, you can make some as a present of Valentine’s Day for your loved one too.

- Yield: 24
- Ingredients:
- 80 gm unsalted butter, room temperature
- 50 gm brown sugar
- 40 gm caster sugar
- 140 gm Nutella
- 1 egg
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 130 gm plain flour / all purpose flour
- 10 gm unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsweetened black chocolate chips
Method:
Beat the butter with an electric mixer until very light and fluffy. Add brown sugar, caster sugar and Nutella. Mix well.
Add the egg and vanilla extract.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Fold into the butter mixture with a spatula. Stir in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 170C / 330F.
Spoon a heaped teaspoon of dough onto a lined baking tray. Each dough should place at least 3cm apart. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the tray for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the cookies onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy !
Notes：
You can bake the cookies in 2 to 3 batches. The dough, not in used, can be chilled in fridge.
Make sure the cookies are completely cooled down before storing in an air-tight container. They can be kept for 5 to 7 days.
If your cookies are softened because of the weather, you might slightly reheat them in a low-temperature oven for 8 minutes and get them crispy again.
