Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies

By Courtney 53 Comments

Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies! (see recipe below)

nutella chocolate chip cookies

Gooood Morning! How would ya’ll like a nice, good ‘ol cookie recipe to start off your Monday??

About a month ago while grocery shopping, I picked up a jar of this:

IMG_1295

Would you believe, that in my 27 years of life, I had never once tried Nutella? It always sounded good, but I guess maybe part of me was scared to buy it; I love chocolate, and I love hazelnuts.

Putting the two together could spell T.R.O.U.B.L.E for me.

IMG_1296

Well last week, I decided I had waited long enough and dug right in. Sure enough, one bite is all it took for me to realize that this jar would stand no chance in my house…WOW.

Why in the world did I wait so long to try this?!?!?! Disappointed smile

So, in an attempt to save myself from sitting down and eating out of the jar with an ice cream scoop, I decided to do the next best thing…put it in a cookie.

IMG_1314

This may be one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. Well, besides last night’s mac & cheese. Winking smile

Trust me on this one…go fire up your mixer!

Ingredients

  • 1-1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter

  • 2/3 cup Nutella
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and set aside.
  2. Cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in Nutella and vanilla extract. Add in egg and mix until combined.
  3. Add flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.
  4. *Optional step: Chill dough for 1/2-1 hour. (It can make a big difference in the cookies)
  5. Drop tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes until the edges look set. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then carefully remove to cooling racks. ENJOY!

************

First, start off by mixing your dry ingredients.

IMG_1291

Next, cream together your butter and sugars until nice and fluffy.

IMG_1293

Add in your vanilla extract and the star ingredient!

IMG_1300

IMG_1301

Next, add in the egg and mix well.

IMG_1302

Once all the wet ingredients are incorporated, add in your dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

IMG_1304

Stir in the chocolate chips by hand, and then it’s time to get bakin’! Smile

IMG_1306

Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough about 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.

IMG_1307

IMG_1308

Bake for about 10 minutes, allow to cool on baking sheet, and then try your best not to dig in immediately. Winking smile

IMG_1309

IMG_1310

These cookies really are perfect. They have a similar consistency to a peanut butter cookie: slightly crumbly on the outside, yet moist and chewy on the inside.

IMG_1323

IMG_1325

The original recipe I found called for cocoa powder in the cookies, but I think that the chocolate from the Nutella and the chips is plenty.

I also love the subtle hint of cinnamon you get every once in a while. It’s a nice surprise and really lends an excellent flavor to the overall cookie.

IMG_1318

If you ask me, I think you should try to make these cookies, ASAP.

Just sayin’! Winking smile

***********

Just catching up from the weekend?

I ate cupcakes for breakfast…

Jay and I took an adventure though Massachusetts.

I indulged in an amazing new mac & cheese recipe!

************

Question for the Day:

Have you ever tried Nutella? If so, what’s your favorite way to eat it?

    I'm so so glad you've joined the Nutella bandwagon! When I was in Europe this summer, this is all I ate - I had to find it as soon as I got back to the States. Now it's a staple in my kitchen. Thank you for posting this recipe - I might just have to try it out at the end of the week :)

    Yum!! So... I've had an unopened jar of Nutella in my CAR for like 6 months! I guess I'd have been doing just fine if I had gotten trapped in one of our 500 winter blizzards?! Anyway, maybe I'll put it to use with some baking. :)

    I can't believe that nutella made it a month in your house, it only lasts a matter of days in ours! My boyfriend eats spoonfuls of it from the jar haha, it stands no chance. I like to drizzle it over a banana for a treat. The cookies look great :)

    I love Nutella...it is amazing. I actually hadn't tried it before either until a few years ago. Since it IS so sweet I actually like it with something salty...like crackers or drizzled over popcorn. I am such a sucker for the sweet/salty combination.

    I can't believe you've never had Nutella?! Seriously?! It was a staple in our house growing up. You couldn't get it in the US until maybe 10-15 years ago, so we'd bring back jars of it from France twice a year. Crazy good!! I love it most on warm croissants...what it was created for!

    This was a dangerous blog for me to read. I had to come home early today because my babysitter had a family emergency. Jacks is sleeping and I was just deciding what I should do. These look fabulous.....if only I had some Nutella, however it will be on my shopping list. I tried Nutella years ago but wouldn't buy it for I knew I would just eat it straight from the jar by the spoonful. This gives me a reason to try buy it, i will just have to make sure to freeze the majority of the cookies asap. I have no control.

Those cookies look amazing, but I'm pretty sure they'd get me in as much trouble as just the jar sitting there- no self control! :)

      YES! The recipe uses probably 2/3 of the jar, so there's only 1/3 left to do damage. ;)

    Surprisingly, Nutella is one of those foods that I just don't 'get' what's so great about :P My dad eats it out of the jar like it's pudding... Ick!! But those cookies look gooooood... and they look like they have the perfect texture. Maybe I'll bake up a batch for my dad :D

      Oh, and I'm just curious..... when you bake cookies, do you and Jay usually finish the whole batch by yourselves/what do you do with the leftovers if you have any? When I bake cookies, I always have some leftovers that nobody touches (especially when I try to experiment and make not-so-tasty cookies :P )

        Oh gosh...if we kept them all for ourselves, then we'd most surely polish them off. But I'll usually bring a few into work to share with my co-workers, or I'll send some in with Jay to bring to work, too. Sometimes, I'll also freeze some. For example, I just took a few frozen cinnamon chip scones out of the freezer yesterday that I had saved! :)

    Seeing your post reminded me that I had a nearly full jar of Nutella in the cupboard. I was missing some ingredients for the cookies so I tried Nutella chocolate cupcakes instead! I went the easy route and made triple chocolate cupcakes from the box, made a hole and squeezed some Nutella in the middle, and topped it off with vanilla buttercreme frosting...I am currently eating one now :)
