Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup of Nutella
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Nutella and sugar. Mix thoroughly using an electric mixer or whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and well-incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a separate medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This will help remove any lumps and ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the Nutella mixture, stirring gently until a cohesive dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
- Gently flatten each cookie dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a more uniform shape.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should look set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. This allows them to firm up slightly and makes transfer easier.
- Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For best texture, place a piece of bread in the container to help maintain moisture.
Tips
- Use room temperature Nutella for easier mixing and smoother dough consistency
- Don't overmix the dough – this can make cookies tough and dense
- For perfectly uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop to ensure consistent size
- Leave enough space between cookies on the baking sheet to prevent them from merging
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking
- Store with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft and moist for up to 5 days
- For extra indulgence, slightly underbake the cookies to maintain a gooey center
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and melting properties
