Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup reduced-sugar brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated erythritol or reduced-sugar sweetener
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Nutella (or a reduced-sugar chocolate hazelnut spread)
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, reduced-sugar brown sugar, and erythritol on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until fully combined.
Mix in the Nutella (or reduced-sugar chocolate hazelnut spread) until the batter is smooth and uniform.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Using a spatula, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
