It has been a lot harder then I expected to continue my blog while at college. The fact that my dorm doesn’t have a kitchen, let alone microwave has made it quite difficult to cook. Luckily since I am close to home I am able to come back on a few weekends here and there this past weekend I was able to whip up a yummy batch of cookies.
This is Giada de Laurentis’ nutella chocolate chip cookie recipe that I got from here. lets just say these cookies do not disappoint. They are a perfect mix of soft and chewy and slightly crunchy on the edges. They have a nice smooth nutella flavor in the cookie base and the chocolate chips just add another little dimension. They are so good I had to bring some back for my friends.
Ingredients
1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 c nutella
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
1/2 c sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pre-heat oven @ 350 degrees
get a small bowl and combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a standing mixer, add the sugars, the nutella, and butter. Stir until the ingredients are fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and stir until incorporated. Gradually add in the dry ingredients at low speed just so the flour doesn’t spray all over. Once the dry ingredients are incorporated in the batter add in the chocolate chips and stir. Add the dough to the cookie sheets and bake from 6-10 minutes. be sure to keep a close eye on them and take them out slightly before they look done. you do not want these to over bake.
