- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the Nutella, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy these scrumptious chunky Nutella chocolate chip cookies with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of your favorite ice cream!
