Nutella Hazelnut Cookies
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup Nutella
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts, toasted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook butter, whisking frequently, until it turns golden brown and foams, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate until melted. Place sugar in a large mixing bowl; add butter-chocolate mixture, and beat using a mixer on medium speed, until well combined and grainy - about 2 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Beat Nutella, eggs and vanilla into sugar mixture, until well combined, about 1-2 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in flour mixture until just combined; stir in hazelnuts until combined.
Roll tablespoons of dough into balls, place on cookie sheets, and flatten slightly using palms of hands. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until set and slightly crisp. Cool 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

ReplyDeleteCookies made with Nutella, now you've tempted me:D
ReplyDeleteCheat, schmeat - you made damn good-looking cookies, and that's what matters :-D
ReplyDeleteI feel sooo cool that I saw all those things you're talking about. Yeah, Serena was kinda scary, Kanye was a complete jerk, but you didn't say how awesome Beyonce was to get Taylor back on stage during her own winning moment to finish her acceptance speech.
ReplyDeleteBetween yesterday's cookies and these, you're going to turn us all into diabetics!
I have the Nutella and hazelnuts. Soon I'll have the cookies too. Thanks for this yummy recipe, Emily.
ReplyDeleteNice! Probs one of the first cookies with Nutella that actually sounds good to me. Great pictures!

Those look so good and chocolatey! All the cookies look great!
ReplyDeletehazelnut happy, that's what these babies are. nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThank you for answering the question of "What should I bring to the barbecue on Sunday" question.
ReplyDeleteIf I could choose how I want to die, it would be with a spoon and as many jars of Nutella as it would take to kill me. It is a magical substance.
you really can't go wrong with nutella :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha...Kanye outbursts! These look great. My mom LOVES nutella, so I'm sure these cookies would be a hit with her. Yum!
ReplyDeleteNutella in cookies? This must be heaven...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a toasted hazelnut bath would hurt...maybe an exfoliation? Or maybe just stick to putting them in delicious-looking cookies!
ReplyDeleteYour cookies always come out looking awesome. Why don't we get packets of Nutella in our hotels here!!? :)
ReplyDeleteNever heard anyone say they would like to bathe in toasted hazelnuts but I'm right there with you girl - they are my favorites!!
ReplyDeleteEm are these soft or chewy? Crispy?
ReplyDeleteThink I'm going to make Noah some for his birthday. he's gaga over Nutella, which he calls 'MUHtella' for some reason.
We buys ours bulk at Costco. We're serious about the stuff.
Yum! You can never go wrong with nutella and hazelnut!
ReplyDeleteNutella makes everything better - these look super tasty!
ReplyDeleteMade these tonight. A.Ma.Zing.
ReplyDeleteMy gut kinda hurts because I ate so many though.
You really know your way around cookie dough. Hat's off.
Hazelnut and cookies, pure bliss!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteSue, that's my goal. ;)
Christina, thank you for the advice.
Rachel, that's the way to go, for sure.
Aimee, I would say crispy.
Eric... do you remember?
I'm mad for nutella as well, though I never entered their fan club :p
ReplyDeleteThese sound good. very very good.
Don't you love when you put a bunch of leftovers together and something great comes out of it, like these cookies? cause I do...
I agree with you on Sundays, football, football, football. Ok, and I do fit Target endcaps in there sometimes, but don't tell everyone :)
ReplyDeleteNutella is some magical stuff. I hear it can heal cuts if you put it on your skin too :) Ok kidding...
Seriously, Nutella is the new craze, it is very popular in European countries! This looks divinely deliciously scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Do you think I read these comments every day or something?
ReplyDeleteNutella, I can just eat from the jar :-)...actually we got at Costco a 2 jars pack...therefore I'll definitely make your cookies...look forward to it ;-) YUMMIE!
ReplyDeletenutella cookies?! fantastic!! i do have a huge two-pound jar of nutella sitting in my pantry right now...
ReplyDeleteEmily, I am just wondering whether you'll be opening your bakery soon. All of this creations you made are delicious. And you created the recipes yourself.
ReplyDeleteAimee, for some reason I missed your second comment! Weird.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked them.
Eric, I had suspicions, but no way of proving it. :)
Your photos are fantastic! I adore nutella; thanks for the great recipe!
ReplyDeleteSo I drop out of the internet for a few weeks to tend to my real job, and I come back and you are doing cookies!! I'm so sorry I was late to the party. I will have to catch up!
ReplyDeleteNutella... that and Ovaltine are two favorites :D
ReplyDeleteYou did it again. By the way, the dress you liked that I posted was from a company called Shabby Apple . Thought you might like to know.
Also two of my fave's.
ReplyDeleteIt would take an awful lot of hazelnuts to fill a bathtub though ;)
I love nutella & I love hazelnuts so I will surely adore your home made cookies!!
ReplyDeleteMMMMMMMM,...Emily!
i don't want serena mad at me, either! haha
ReplyDeletethesee looks awesome, but you know what i hate? rubbing skins off of toasted hazelnuts--they hang on for dear life!!!
As usual these look fantastic Emily! I am with you, I would bathe in toasted hazelnuts too - provided that they weren't still hot...
ReplyDeleteMy husband would LOVE these!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! Love your packaged cookies. So delicate. Excited to follow along! :)
ReplyDeleteYummm!! I've been eating and loving Nutella ALL 20 years of my life!! This is simply making it even better! I've never baked with Nutella, coz I always end up emptying the jar when I'm thinking of a recipe, leaving me none to add into the recipe :P :P
ReplyDeleteThe cookies look absolutely sinful!!
You think YOU're behind on reading blogs. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteDeeeelicious cookies, I agree. I have a hard time using Nutella in baking because I love it best right on a spoon! But if someone GAVE me some of those.....wink, wink. ;)
ohhh.. what a fab way to use Nutella! I'm bookmarking this. thanks! =D
ReplyDeletei tried these and they taste so good. the only problem i had with them is that they would stick to the pan like crazy. the first few batches were a waste then i figured out what to do. but they are so yummy!
ReplyDeleteFound your blog by googling "Nutella Cookies". For the life of me, I can't figure out why I hadn't thought of searching for that before--very disappointed with myself.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, the last batch of cookies just came out of the oven. Most excellent. I made a couple of minor variations/substitutions:
1) Cocoa powder instead of solid (don't like messing around with trying to melt pieces... prefer the instant gratification that comes with the powder).
2) Used a melon baller to scoop and reduced time down to 10 min--prefer softer cookies. Ten minutes was perfect for my liking.
Only one problem with the whole experience... the dough is so good that I was full by the time the first pan came out of the oven. Force fed myself two cookies anyway and now I'm feeling a bit sick.
Thanks for the recipe!
I just made these cookies, they are delicious!! Thanks for the recipe! They remind me of Baci - the little Italian hazelnut chocolates. I ate them constantly when I was studying abroad in Italy!
