Delicious Hazelnut Chocolate Swirl Cookies

These cookies feature a soft texture with a luscious chocolate swirl throughout. The combination of hazelnuts and chocolate creates a delicious flavor profile that is perfect for any occasion. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and makes about 24 cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup ground hazelnuts
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
• 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground hazelnuts, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Add Chocolate Spread: Gently fold in the chocolate hazelnut spread, creating swirls throughout the dough without fully mixing it in.
6. Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Optionally, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
