Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Number of servings: approximately 20 cookies
Necessary ingredients:
- 100 g butter (at room temperature)
- 100 g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 200 g Nutella
- 50 ml chocolate coffee liqueur (or another flavored liqueur)
- 200 g flour
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 160 g dark chocolate chips (for an intense flavor)
Preparing Nutella cookies:
1. Preheating the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 190°C. This temperature will ensure even baking and give the cookies a perfect texture.
2. Mixing dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. It’s important to mix these dry ingredients well to avoid clumping. This mixture will give the cookies a deep flavor and a slightly airy texture.
3. Beating butter with sugar: In another bowl, beat the soft butter together with the brown sugar until you achieve a fluffy and homogeneous cream. Brown sugar adds a caramel note, making the cookies tastier.
4. Adding the egg and Nutella: Incorporate the egg into the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well. Then, add the Nutella and chocolate coffee liqueur. Mix everything until it becomes a uniform and delicious paste.
5. Combining ingredients: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet composition, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until combined. It’s important not to overmix, just until the ingredients are combined.
6. Adding chocolate chips: At this point, add 100 g of dark chocolate chips and gently mix so that they are evenly distributed in the dough.
7. Forming the cookies: Take a tablespoon of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased with butter. Make sure to leave a distance of 4-5 cm between the cookies, as they will spread during baking.
8. Decorating the cookies: Sprinkle 60 g of dark chocolate chips on top of each cookie for an attractive look and an extra touch of chocolate.
9. Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and let the cookies bake for 9-11 minutes. They will be ready when the edges are firm, but the center remains soft. It’s essential not to leave them too long, as they will continue to bake after you take them out of the oven.
10. Cooling: After the cookies are done, let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. This step helps maintain the crispy and delicious texture.
Serving suggestions:
Nutella cookies are delicious served warm, alongside a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee. You can also serve them with vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. Don’t hesitate to share them with friends, as they are a perfect choice for a relaxing gathering!
Variations:
If you want to experiment, you can add chopped nuts or hazelnuts for an extra crunch. You can also replace the coffee liqueur with caramel syrup or a dash of vanilla extract for a different flavor.
