Cookie Cake

To prepare these American chocolate and hazelnut cookies, we will start by ensuring we have all the ingredients at hand. We will need: 150 g of unsalted butter, 200 g of sugar, 1 large egg, 300 g of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 packet of vanilla sugar, a pinch of salt, 100 g of chopped hazelnuts, and 150 g of dark or milk chocolate, cut into small pieces. These ingredients will contribute to creating a perfect dough with a crispy texture and rich flavor.

The first step is to mix the sugar with the butter, making sure the butter is at room temperature to incorporate evenly. Using a mixer or a spatula, we will obtain a creamy and homogeneous mixture. Then, we add the egg, continuing to mix until it is fully integrated. It is important to ensure that the egg is well incorporated, as it will provide moisture and bind the ingredients together.

In another bowl, we sift the flour together with the baking powder and baking soda to avoid lumps. This step is essential for achieving a crumbly dough, so do not skip it. We add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, gently mixing with a spatula until a sandy dough forms. It is important not to overmix, as we want to maintain that crispy texture.

Now, it is time to add the vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt, enhancing the flavors of the cookies. Then, we fold in the chopped hazelnuts and chocolate pieces, gently mixing to ensure they are evenly distributed in the dough.

We prepare a 24 cm tray, greasing it well or, if preferred, lining it with parchment paper. We divide the dough into two equal parts. We press the first half by hand into the tart shape, ensuring an even base is formed. On top, we put a few tablespoons of Nutella, which will add a creamy and delicious touch to the cookies. Then, we add the remaining dough, gently pressing with our hands to cover it evenly.

We bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 25 minutes or until the surface turns golden. Once ready, we let the cookies cool in the tray for 10 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely. These cookies are a true delight for anyone who loves the combination of chocolate and nuts, having a perfect texture and divine taste!
