How to Make Chewy Nutella Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 cup Nutella and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Beat in 1 large egg until just incorporated.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup hazelnuts (optional).
  8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes).
  9. Roll dough into 1-inch diameter balls. Place onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. If using larger balls, increase baking time.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
