Easy Nutella Cookies Recipe
Sometimes I think I have a new recipe idea only to realize I made something similar years ago. It happened to me with the idea for these cookies. Since I have a recipe for Soft and Chewy Nutella White Chocolate Chip Cookies that I love, I knew it would be perfect with just semi-sweet chocolate chips and no white chocolate. I also bumped up the amount of Nutella. The more the merrier. The cookies are pillowy soft in the center, chewy around the edges, and Nutella keeps them super soft and moist. They’re rich, decadent, dense, and perfectly thick.
What’s in Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies?
To make these chocolate Nutella cookies, you’ll need:
Unsalted butter Light brown sugar Granulated sugar Nutella Egg Vanilla extract All-purpose flour Cornstarch Baking soda Salt Semi-sweet chocolate chips
How to Make Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cream together the butter, Nutella, sugars, egg, and vanilla. Add in the dry ingredients, then fold in the chocolate chips. Form the dough into balls, then chill for at least 3 hours. Once the dough has chilled, bake until the edges have set and the tops are just set, even if slightly undercooked and glossy in the center. The Nutella cookies need to cool for 10 minutes on the baking tray before you dive in.
Can I Omit the Cornstarch?
Technically, yes. The cookies will still “turn out,” but they won’t be nearly as soft. You need the cornstarch to achieve bakery-style cookies at home!
How to Store the Cookies
Chocolate Nutella cookies will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Alternatively, unbaked cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 4 months, so consider baking only as many cookies as desired and save the remaining dough to be baked in the future when desired.
Tips for Making Chocolate Nutella Cookies
You’re welcome to add other baking chips to this cookie dough. Peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, dark chocolate chunks, etc. would all taste delicious here. Make sure to chill your dough so your cookies bake up into thick, beautiful, bakery-style cookies. Cornstarch add softness that you’re going to love and unlike some chocolate cookies that dry out, between the Nutella and cornstarch these stay soft for days. Just don’t overbake.
