How to Make Lighter Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar and 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1/4 cup (60g) Nutella and 1 large egg. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (Keep a close eye, oven temperatures vary).
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
