Ingredients

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In another medium bowl combine the butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, sugar, and brown sugar. Using an electric mixer, cream the ingredients together, about 4 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Add the hazelnuts and stir until just combined.

Using a tablespoon measure, spoon out the cookie dough onto a cookie sheet, spacing the mounds about 4 inches apart. Use the tines of a fork to flatten the cookie dough. Bake until lightly golden around the edges, about 10 to 12 minutes. Use a metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool.

Didn't tasted the nutella, but good chocolate cookies!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I have to be so picky....but the cookies are good but not awsome...and I did not tasted the nutella, they just tasted as good... chocolate cookies. I read comments like this before baking the cookies, but didn't care to try them. Just take in mind you are making more a chocolate type cookies not nutella, if you are craving for nutella grab a toast and spread it with nutella instead!Read more

It's an OMG Moment!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I pride myself on my homemade chocolate chocolate chip cookie recipe, but I tried this recipe with a couple of variations and... I couldn't believe how incredible they were! First I added a cup of chocolate chips to the recipe and I switched the hazelnuts (we couldn't find them in the store) with chopped Macadamia nuts. I put it in my mouth and I was in Heaven! Totally incredible Giada! Read more

Sweet and Crispy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

If sweet and crispy is what you want, these cookies are for you. I substituted hazelnut oil for butter producing a more... intense hazelnut flavor. I think the hazelnut oil helps the Nutella essence come out.Read more

Yummy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I just made these after watching the show. I liked them and my kids loved them. I probably will make them a bit bigger next... time, I made the last batch bigger and they seemed chewy and not so hard and dry the way I like cookies. Although it is meant to be biscotti which is a firmer cookie. I grew up on Nutella living in Germany and have never baked with it, but it works really well. I didn't have hazelnuts on hand so roasted some almonds, don't think it made any difference. A nice cookie to have with a cuppa!Read more
