Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, ensuring the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Warm the Nutella slightly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it more spreadable.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Add a small dollop of warmed Nutella on top of each cookie dough ball and use a toothpick or knife to create a swirling pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - room temperature is key for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For the most beautiful Nutella swirls, slightly warm the Nutella and use a toothpick to create elegant marble patterns.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For extra indulgence, use high-quality chocolate chips and real vanilla extract.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft, chewy texture.
- For best results, use fresh ingredients and measure precisely.
