These soft and chewy Nutella cookies are loaded with Nutella and chocolate chunks! My recipe is easy, but it does require some patience for chilling. Recipe includes a how-to video!
Combine softened butter, sugars, and Nutella in the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl, using electric mixer) and beat until ingredients are combined and well-creamed.
½ cup unsalted butter, ⅔ cup light brown sugar, ¼ cup sugar, ¾ cups Nutella
Add egg and vanilla extract and stir until well-combined.
1 large egg, 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
1 ½ cups flour, 1 ½ teaspoon cornstarch, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet until completely combined -- be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula to ensure that all ingredients are well-incorporated.
Stir in chocolate chunks.
½ cup chocolate chunks
Cover bowl with cling wrap and chill for at least 3 hours.
Once dough has finished chilling, preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Remove from refrigerator and roll into approximately 2-Tablespoon-sized balls. Roll dough into balls and place on prepared cookie sheet at least 2" apart.
Bake on 375F (190C) for 10-13 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool completely on cookie sheet. Enjoy!
