Ingredients
- 1/2 cups all purpose flour (to add just a tiny bit of nutrition, I sometimes use 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 white flour)
- 1/4 c. cocoa
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup nutella
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped hazelnuts, walnuts or almonds
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F.
Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat eggs with an electric mixer. Add sugar and beat on high for 2 minutes. Add nutella and continue beating. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and continue to beat until well-mixed. Add chocolate chips and nuts.
Divide dough into logs (this quantity of dough will make a total of about 6 logs) and and flatten to approximately 1/2 inch thick on well-greased baking sheets.
Bake at 350F for 20 minutes. Remove baking sheets from oven. Reduce oven to 300F.
Using a serrated knife, cut logs diagonally into 1/2 inch slices. Arrange on baking sheet and return to oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Move cookies to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container or freeze the extra (with this quantity, even with how wonderful Nutella is, there WILL be extra).
Share, and enjoy.
Makes approximately 6 dozen cookies.
