I cheated a little bit on this last cookie post. I started writing this post on Sunday, saved it, and I'm really publishing it on Monday. So that's why it says Sunday. I did NOT want to skip a day of cookies. That goes against everything I stand for.
You see what I mean? No? I don't blame you - that was confusing.
I didn't really have time to write a post on Sunday. After all, Sunday is a day of rest. It's a day of relaxation, football, US Open (Ahhh! Serena Williams! I would never want her mad at me!), Target shopping, snickerdoodle baking, and Kanye West outbursts.
I'm behind on my blog reading, so I'm going to wrap this up. I present to you, on this fine September morning, Nutella Hazelnut Cookies!
I made these to use up the rest of the Nutella and hazelnuts I had. They're a chocolate brownie-like cookie with Nutella and toasted hazelnuts in them, and they are deeeelicious!
I love Nutella so much. I was first introduced to it when I visited France in high school. At the hotel breakfasts they had little packages of Nutella to spread on your croissant or baguette slice. Miam miam! I even brought some of the packages home with me. But then I discovered you could buy it here.
I loved Nutella so much, I joined their fan club at some point and got a free T-shirt. It's an XXL but it makes fashionable sleepwear.
You know what else I love? Toasted hazelnuts. I would take a bath in toasted hazelnuts if I could.
Nutella Hazelnut Cookies (Recipe by Me)
Printable Recipe
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.

Cookies made with Nutella, now you've tempted me:D
Cheat, schmeat - you made damn good-looking cookies, and that's what matters :-D
I 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.
Between 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.
Nice! Probs one of the first cookies with Nutella that actually sounds good to me. Great pictures!
If you press the 'post options' button at the bottom of the posting box opposite the tag box, you can fill in a date for when the post will be published. You can still edit and everything, but this makes it so that the date you want it publishes appears and it also automatically publishes the post.
Those look so good and chocolatey! All the cookies look great!
hazelnut happy, that's what these babies are. nicely done.
Thank you for answering the question of "What should I bring to the barbecue on Sunday" question.
If 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 :)
Ha ha...Kanye outbursts! These look great. My mom LOVES nutella, so I'm sure these cookies would be a hit with her. Yum!
Nutella in cookies? This must be heaven...
Sounds like a toasted hazelnut bath would hurt...maybe an exfoliation? Or maybe just stick to putting them in delicious-looking cookies!
Your cookies always come out looking awesome. Why don't we get packets of Nutella in our hotels here!!? :)
Never heard anyone say they would like to bathe in toasted hazelnuts but I'm right there with you girl - they are my favorites!!
Em are these soft or chewy? Crispy?
Think 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!
Nutella makes everything better - these look super tasty!
Made these tonight. A.Ma.Zing.
My 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!
Thanks everyone!
Sue, 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
These 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 :)
Nutella 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!
What? Do you think I read these comments every day or something?
Nutella, 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!
nutella cookies?! fantastic!! i do have a huge two-pound jar of nutella sitting in my pantry right now...
Emily, 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.
Aimee, for some reason I missed your second comment! Weird.
I'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!
So 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!
Nutella... that and Ovaltine are two favorites :D
You 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.
It 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!!
MMMMMMMM,...Emily!
i don't want serena mad at me, either! haha
thesee 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...
My husband would LOVE these!
Great blog! Love your packaged cookies. So delicate. Excited to follow along! :)
Yummm!! 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
The cookies look absolutely sinful!!
You think YOU're behind on reading blogs. Sigh!
Deeeelicious 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
i 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!
Found 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.
Anyhow, 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!
