Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder; set this mixture aside for later incorporation.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the Nutella, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and large egg together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the sugars are well incorporated.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet Nutella mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make cookies tough.
- Shape Dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoons of the dough onto the lined baking sheet, spacing each dollop sufficiently apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are set but still slightly soft in the centers, indicating a fudgy texture.
- Cool: After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving, allowing them to set perfectly.
Notes
- Do not overbake to maintain a soft and fudgy center.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For extra texture, consider adding chopped hazelnuts.
- Make sure to space cookies adequately on the baking sheet to prevent them from merging.
