Can any cookies with Nutella, chocolate chips, and sea salt be wrong? Um, no.
Enter Nutella, chocolate chips, espresso powder, and a little sprinkling of sea salt. *sigh*
Mr. E said these are the best cookies he's had all year. Pretty good for cookies thrown together on a Saturday morning, don't ya think?
The Nutella and brown sugar combine to make a chewy, almost brownie-like cookie. And they're petite, so don't feel guilty about eating several at one time. Please, PLEASE don't skip the sea salt here. That little sprinkle of salt makes these cookies sing!
Nutella Chocolate Chip Sea Salt-Sprinkled Cookies
{makes about 2 dozen}
1 cup Nutella
2 TBSP light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1/2 cup + 2 TBSP flour
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
sea salt
[note: espresso powder can be found in the grocery store near the Sanka, or online.]
Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together the Nutella and the brown sugar. Stir in the egg until well mixed. Add in the espresso powder, then the flour, stirring until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes or more.
Bake for 10 minutes or until done. Let sit on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Nutella, it's official. I love you.
Nutella, I love you!

ReplyDeleteI love Nutella, especially with a spoon. I buy it by the jar and sometimes it doesn't get used for anything except me just eating it. It's the love of my life! I am loving these cookies!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! Not only Nutella but expresso and chocolate too. Heaven in a cookie!

ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of espresso. Can it be left out?
ReplyDeleteHey Michelle!
DeleteSure, you can leave it out. The cookies don't take like espresso or coffee...it really just brings out the flavor of the chocolate. :)
I keep buying jars of nutella wanting to use them for baking but I always end up eating it with a spoon because it's just that good. I love you Nutella!

ReplyDeleteOne of my most treasured combo's: espresso + nutella.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these!
Yes- the nutella sounds wonderful but I think the espresso powder is the secret ingredient of so many wonderful baked goods. It adds such flavor without making the sweets "coffee-like". Love it!
ReplyDeleteSounds amazing and looks simple. NICE.
ReplyDelete(I have only had nutella on sweet bread, never in cookies... I think I must expand my nutella-horizon!)
I've never had Nutella, but now I'm going to have to!
ReplyDeleteYum -- the combo of Nutella and espresso powder sounds divine. Like a hazelnut latte, but in cookie form (could anything be better?!) Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYummy! I love Nutella! These look adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove the fact that this recipe uses sea salt. Nutella is something I love to add in my baking recipes and your recipe looks just perfect, and so are the pictures! Love tehse cookies!!
ReplyDeleteYou've created a winner! They look so inviting, and I even have sea salt already:)
ReplyDeleteMy kind of cookie!
ReplyDeleteI just can't wait to bake these cookies. They look so delicious!
ReplyDeleteOnly thing I don't like about visiting baking blogs is the recipes make me crave, especially if...it's CHOCOLATE. And, now with Nutella, this will be hit with my kids.

I just made these and they are the BEST thing I've ever eaten! Glad they're small because there's no way you can stop at one! And the sea salt really does make the cookies sing! Absolutely will be making them again, thank you!
