Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- Sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Take small spoonfuls of Nutella and swirl them into the cookie dough, creating marbled streaks.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball before baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve and enjoy your Nutella Chocolate Chip Sea Salt Sprinkled Cookies!
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this creates the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can make cookies tough instead of delightfully chewy.
- For consistent cookie sizes, use a cookie scoop or weigh each dough ball.
- Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
- For extra indulgence, slightly warm the cookies before serving to re-melt the chocolate chips.
- Use high-quality sea salt for the best flavor contrast - a little goes a long way!
