Nutella Chewy Cookies

Posted by Claire:

I think cookies are wonderful. They hardly take much effort, and they're done in such a short time!! It's amazing!! If you've been following our blog, you'll know that I'm a fan of soft and chewy cookies. None of those crunchy, rock hard cookies for me. I love buttery, chewy cookies. This is a recipe for just that.

If I had to make a list of top ten things I've baked and will continue to bake many times over, these nutella chewy cookies definitely make that list. The recipe is just SO easy (one of the easiest!) and they tasted so good! Especially for nutella fans...and who isn't a fan of nutella?? The cookies are quite flat/thin and they have this light, hazelnutty, chocolatey flavour. They're also very chewy and easy to eat.

Nutella Chewy Cookies

Recipe adapted from Lovin' From The Oven

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar

½ cup Nutella

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

1 ½ cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

¼ tsp. salt

1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

1.   Preheat oven to 176 degrees C.

2.   Cream butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. 

3. Stir in the egg, vanilla, and Nutella.

3.   Add the flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

4.   Drop the dough by tablespoons onto baking sheet and bake for 6-7 minutes. They'll look a little wet and uncooked and strange at first, and you'll be tempted to leave them in the oven a while longer but don't!! They will continue to cook and develop when you take them out of the oven. After cooling for a while, they will look like this: 

And that's all! These cookies keep quite well for maybe a few days, but they're really best eaten on the day you bake it! Take my word for it, if you like nutella then bake this amazing cookie!!! :-)

Love,
