Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 120 grams Chocolate hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and egg, beating well to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop out 1-tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly with your thumb to create an indentation in the center.
Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, allowing space between each cookie.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft to the touch. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Once the cookies are cool, use a small spoon or piping bag to fill the indentations with chocolate hazelnut spread.
Dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for a decorative finish. Serve and enjoy!
