Meet those 3 Magical Elements of Nutella Cookies Recipe
Before diving straight into the recipe, let’s get to know those 3 magical ingredients that make this soft and chewy Nutella cookie recipe so wonderful. These are nothing but 3 basic ingredients in your pantry that often go unnoticed:
Nutella
Ever since I discovered this hazelnut-filled, rich, and buttery spread named Nutella, I have been a fan and love Nutella. If you don’t know Nutella is an Italian chocolate spread made with hazelnuts, It’s rich and decadent with a nutty flavor. The rich textures and the unique flavors of Nutella are what compelled me to try making something with it. And the result was a batch of perfectly baked, chewy cookies with a Nutella surprise inside.
Eggs
Eggs are one of the most basic ingredients used in any cookie recipe. They act as a binding agent that holds the other ingredients together and also lead the cookies to turn out puffy and chewy, creating the ideal texture for any cookie.
All Purpose flour
Another important starting ingredient for any cookies or making this recipe is All-purpose flour. This ingredient forms the base of our Nutella cookies and lends them the right texture. The flour balances out the wet ingredients, helping you achieve a good cookie dough that will help you to make perfect dough balls.
Necessary Tips to Make This Recipe
- Don’t add all-purpose flour at once, gradually add them, and mix simultaneously. Before adding flour, make sure to measure them properly, or your cookies may turn out dry, crumbly, or hard.
- You have to knead a soft dough out of this.
- Once all the Nutella balls are placed in the baking tray, if you want you can gently press them using the back of a spoon or simply your fingers.
- If you want to add some toppings like chocolate chips, nuts, and sprinkle some sea salt, etc.
- Make sure to let the cookies cool on a cooling rack before serving. They may seem soft after baking but they will set as they cool.
