Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup hazelnut butter (stirred well)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup golden brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Start by sifting the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. This ensures a smooth texture for your cookies.
-
Creaming: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the softened unsalted butter, hazelnut butter (ensure it’s well stirred), and both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect cookie texture.
-
Incorporation: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. These ingredients add moisture and flavor to the cookie dough.
-
Combining Dry Ingredients: Gradually beat in the flour mixture until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.
-
Adding Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. This step adds the irresistible chocolaty goodness to your cookies.
-
Chilling: Cover the dough and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. Chilling the dough helps solidify the fats, resulting in cookies with a better texture and flavor. You can also prepare the dough a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This ensures that the cookies bake evenly and prevents sticking.
-
Shaping Cookies: Using about 1 level tablespoon of dough for each cookie, roll the dough between the palms of your hands to form 1-inch balls. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between them to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Baking: Bake the cookies one sheet at a time in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown, about 12 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-browning.
-
Cooling: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. This helps them set and develop the perfect texture.
-
Storage: Once cooled, the cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To maintain freshness, place sheets of waxed paper between the layers of cookies.
