Ingredients

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons unsifted bleached all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 stick butter, melted and cooled until warm
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. Nutella
1 large egg
1 additional egg yolk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1-2 c. semi or bittersweet chocolate chips
1 c. chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 20x14 baking sheet without sides with parchment paper.

Mix flour, salt and baking soda together in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.

With electric mixer, mix butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Mix in Nutella, egg, yolk and vanilla extract. Add dry ingredients; mix until just combined. Stir in chips.

Form 2 tablespoons dough into ball. Place formed dough onto or cookie sheet (greased or lined with parchment paper), about 18 balls per sheet.

Bake until cookies are light golden brown and outer edges start to harden, yet centers are still soft and puffy, 10 to 13 minutes. Start checking at 8 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets. Store in airtight containers.
