The secret to keeping these (decadent, delectable, divine!) cookies soft is transferring them to an airtight container no more than a half-hour after pulling them out of the oven.
- 1 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, add the sugars, the butter and Nutella. Mix until the ingredients are fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and stir until incorporated. Gradually add in the dry ingredients at low speed until just incorporated. Add in the chocolate chips and stir and gently stir.
Form 1-inch balls of dough and place them on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Bake for 6-8 minutes minutes. Transfer to cooling racks, and store in airtight containers for up to 1 week.
Makes about 2 dozen.

YUM!
Ever since I’ve made my own homemade Nutella, I can’t stop collecting dessert recipes that incorporate Nutella. These cookies look great!
Wait. Did you just say you make your own Nutella?? Holy cow. That’s awesome. Is it difficult?
— Caitlin
Haha, yes and it’s so much better for you than the store-bought stuff and still tastes creamy and delicious!
It’s not difficult AT ALL. I make it in a whimpy food processor and it’s ready in less than 10 minutes! http://inspireandindulge.wordpress.com/2013/02/04/paleo-homemade-nutella-and-paleo-nutella-fudge/
Aaaaand … pinned!
Thank you so much for sharing the recipe, Leah! Can’t wait to try a batch, and I’m already dreaming of how I could turn jars of this stuff into Christmas presents!

Amazing! Totally making these. That homemade Nutella Leah is talking about sounds pretty awesome too.
Nutella seems to have a hardcore following (and I don’t mean punk rock, thought there’s probably Nutella lovers there, too). I know one of these fine Nutella-lovin’ folk and will forward this to her forthwith.
