It’s Friday again! Yay! It seems like the last weekend was just a couple of days ago… maybe because of the additional days off for Easter :P Well. I am definitely not gonna complain about that! I like it when the week has less working days. So let’s grab a cookie and celebrate the upcoming weekend with these Chocolate Nutella Hazelnut Cookies and a big cup of coffee. Or tee. Or plain milk. ;)
These cookies today belong to my new “Coffee House Cookies” category or collection – whatever you want to call it – big, sweet and delicious cookies like the ones they sell in many coffee shops around the world. Cookies that make you drool! :P

I already showed you some of these cookies here – for example, my delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies with large chunks of chocolate or the Peanut Butter Cookies that satisfy your craving for sweet and salty stuff.
Today’s cookies are all about chocolate and hazelnut… and of course Nutella! The combination of these three ingredients is awesome! There is not much better out there I think. To be honest – I am a huge Nutella fan and I think everything is better with Nutella. Try one of them and you will agree…1
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
1/2 cup (120g) butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
1/3 cup (70g) sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
7 oz. (200g) Nutella
1.7 oz. (50g) hazelnuts, chopped
1.7 oz. (50g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
120g Butter, geschmolzen und handwarm
150g brauner Zucker
70g Zucker
1 Ei (L)
1 TL Vanille Extrakt
180g Mehl (Type 405)
1/2 TL Natron
1/4 TL Salz
200g Nutella
50g Haselnüsse, gehackt
50g Zartbitterschokolade, gehackt

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Add the sugars and melted butter to a large bowl and mix (about 1-2 minutes) until the mixture gets light and creamy. Add the egg and mix in well. Add the vanilla extract and mix in. Mix the flour with baking soda, and salt and add to the bowl. Mix until just combined. Add the Nutella and fold in – try not to mix too much. The Nutella should be in swirls instead of incorporated evenly throughout the dough. Add half of the hazelnuts and chocolate and fold in (keep the rest for decorations). Place the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Use a cookie scoop or two tablespoons and place dough balls (about 2 tbsp. each) with enough space (about 1.5 in/4cm) on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the dough with the remaining chocolate and hazelnut pieces and bake for 10-12 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet until you can move the cookies, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely.
2. Die beiden Zuckersorten mit der geschmolzenen Butter zusammen in eine große Schüssel geben und dann auf höchster Stufe für ca. 1-2 Minuten cremig aufschlagen. Das Ei dazugeben und gut unterrühren. Den Vanille Extrakt zugeben und unterrühren. Das Mehl mit dem Natron und Salz vermischen und dann zur Schüssel dazugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Nutella zugeben und unterziehen – nicht zu viel rühren, das Nutella sollte in Schlieren im Teig zu sehen sein. Die Hälfte der Nüsse und Schokolade kurz unterheben und dann alles für mindestens 30 Minuten (bis zu 2 Stunden) in den Kühlschrank stellen.
3. Den Backofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen. Mit einem Cookie-/Eisportionierer oder zwei Esslöffeln Teig mit genügend Abstand (etwa 4cm/1.5 inches) auf das Blech setzen und mit der verbliebenen Schokolade und Haselnüssen bestreuen. Die Cookies für etwa 10-12 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und die Kekse ein paar Minuten auf dem Blech abkühlen lassen, bis man sie bewegen kann, dann auf ein Kuchengitter legen und komplett auskühlen lassen.
