Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
½ cup Nutella
1 cup toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
Optional: Crushed wafer cookies for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips, Nutella (swirled through the dough), and toasted hazelnuts.
- Cover dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions, roll into balls, and place on prepared sheet. Optionally, press a piece of wafer cookie on top.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are soft.
- Cool on baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use room temperature butter for proper creaming and light texture.
Do not overmix dough to avoid dense cookies.
Chilling the dough prevents spreading and enhances flavor.
Toast hazelnuts before using for a deeper flavor.
Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best results.
Adjust baking time as needed based on your oven.
