I often get requests from friends to make cookies, these were requested and inspired by a college student called Jan who helped me around the house one summer. I sent him home with a package of these and my Salted Caramel Blondies. He was extremely happy. They were such a success I thought I’d also share them with you. I didn’t want to make a basic chocolate chip cookie because I’ve made them a thousand times. So I went through my pantry and tried to find ways to kick them up a notch. To make them, I started with my Classic Chocolate Chip recipe and it went from there. (with a bit less sugar as the Nutella adds sweetness).
Which Chocolate Is Best?
When I bake I like to use a Dark Chocolate that’s around 54.5% Cacao it tastes great without being too sweet and also melts easily. That said, you can use semi-sweet, bitter-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips too. Just remember that milk chocolate will make a much sweeter cookie.
Step by Step Instructions
Sift the dry ingredients In a large mixing bowl. Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until combined. Add the chocolate chips. Swirl in the Nutella spread. Bake for around 12 minutes. Allow to cool. Melt the chocolate and cover the cookies. If you want to make them as drop cookies, you can do that too. I’ve included instructions in the recipe. Place them on a wire rack for the chocolate coating to set. Serve and enjoy!
