Servings: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 cup Nutella
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 large egg softened to room temperature
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and white granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Nutella and the large egg to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined and smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are slightly golden but centers remain soft. They will continue to cook after removal.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

- Do not overbake to keep cookies soft and chewy.
