Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.5 cups Light brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Nutella
• 0.75 cups Semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Drop teaspoon-sized globs of Nutella onto the dough. Use a spoon to lightly swirl the Nutella into the dough, ensuring not to overmix so the swirl remains distinct.

Step 8

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly underbaked.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy your lighter Nutella chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
