Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (230 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (150 grams) brown sugar, packed
- 2 ½ cups (315 grams) all-purpose flour
- 4 Kinder Bueno bars, roughly chopped
- 1 cup (180 grams) chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
- ½ cup (120 grams) hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for optimal cooking and non-stick surface.
- Butter Mixture: Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, creating a smooth, aerated base for the cookies.
- Liquid Integration: Whisk in eggs one at a time, blending thoroughly, then incorporate vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then gently fold into the wet mixture until just incorporated, maintaining a delicate texture.
- Chocolate and Bueno Incorporation: Fold in chocolate chips and chopped Kinder Bueno bars, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Filling and Shaping: Scoop dough portions, create a small well, and strategically place hazelnut spread in the center, carefully encasing the filling within each cookie.
- Baking Process: Arrange cookies on prepared sheets with adequate spacing, topping with additional Kinder Bueno fragments for visual and flavor enhancement.
- Cooling and Finishing: Bake until edges turn golden brown (10-12 minutes), rest on baking sheets for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
- Serving Suggestion: Enjoy warm to experience the ultimate gooey, indulgent texture and complex flavor combination of these decadent treats.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stop stirring cookie dough immediately after dry ingredients combine to maintain a soft, tender texture and prevent tough cookies.
- Temperature Matters: Let butter and eggs reach room temperature before mixing to ensure smooth incorporation and better cookie consistency.
- Chocolate Handling: Roughly chop Kinder Bueno bars when cold for cleaner cuts and more defined chocolate pieces throughout the cookie.
- Filling Technique: Create a small well in cookie dough’s center before adding hazelnut spread to prevent leakage and ensure even distribution of filling.
