Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer with paddle attachment or electric hand mixer with beaters
  • 2 baking sheets
  • 2 sheets parchment paper
  • 1 medium (2 tablespoon, 30 ml) cookie scoop optional

Ingredients
  

  • cup (210 g) all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (148 g) Nutella
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170 g) chocolate chips or chunks optional

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch and salt until well combined. 
    1¾ cup (210 g) all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
  • In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream the cooled room temperature butter with the Nutella, light brown and granulated sugars until well combined. This takes about 3 - 4 minutes on medium speed. 
    ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature, ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar, ½ cup (148 g) Nutella
  • With the mixer on low, mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. I like to do this about ½ of the dry ingredients at a time. Fold in the chocolate chips.
    1 large egg, room temperature, 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract , 1 cup (170 g) chocolate chips or chunks
  • Scoop the cookies into 2 tablespoon (30 ml) sized cookie dough balls. Place the Nutella dough balls onto a lined baking sheet or large plate. Cover the cookies with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge to chill for 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • 30 minutes before baking the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 F (190 C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. 
    Place about 8 - 10 cookies balls onto a prepared baking sheet. Bake for 11 - 13 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are set and the centers are slightly puffed. 
  • As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, reshape any cookies using a biscuit or cookie cutter slightly wider than the cookie. Place the cutter over the cookies so the edges of the cookie are inside the cookie/ biscuit cutter. In a circular motion, gently nudge the edges back into a round shape. 
    Cool the chewy Nutella chocolate chip cookies on the baking sheet for 3 -4  minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely to room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

Store: Place the chocolate chip cookies with Nutella in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 5 days.  If you would like to store the cookies for longer, I recommend freezing them.
