Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Nutella Chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg Room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt For balancing sweetness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Nutella, flour, egg, sugar, and sea salt. Stir well until all the ingredients form a thick, fudgy dough.
  3. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, take portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  4. Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes. Remove them once the edges are set, but the centers should still look soft.
  5. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Don't over-mix the dough, and allow cookies to cool slightly to maintain their fudgy texture. Experiment with toppings like chocolate chips or nuts for added texture.
