Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 1 tbsp strong coffee
  • 2 1/4 cups AP flour
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • In a stand mixer beat together the butter and sugars for about 5 minutes.
  • Add eggs (one at a time), vanilla, chocolate hazelnut spread, and coffee, and mix until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until a dough forms.
  • Add in the chocolate chips and mix.
  • Scoop 4 large cookies at a time onto a parchment-lined baking sheet with at least an inch of space between each.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden brown.

Notes

  • If your butter is too firm to use, you can melt it and let it re-harden until soft. Or you can grate it on a cheese grater before mixing. 
  • Good vanilla is always worth it!
