Ingredients Method

What goes in the bowl

• ½ cup unsalted butter softened
• ⅓ cup Nutella heaping, stirred before scooping
• ½ cup light brown sugar packed
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

How the cooking goes

1. Beat together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Keep it to one side.
2. Cream butter, Nutella, and both sugars on medium-high speed until the mix looks even, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the egg and vanilla. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes total, be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl once.
4. Reduce to low speed. Add the flour mixture in 2-3 small additions, mixing each until just incorporated. Scrape the bowl several times. Add chocolate chips then mix briefly to distribute.
5. Portion dough into 1-inch balls. Chill in the refrigerator on a parchment-lined tray, covered, for 2 hours or up to 3 days.
6. Warm the oven to 350°F. Arrange dough balls 2 inches apart on a sheet pan lined with parchment.
7. Oven-bake 9 to 11 minutes, rotating the pan at 6 minutes, until edges are set and tops are just beginning to brown. Cool 5 minutes on the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

After it comes off the heat

Cool the sheet on a rack before the pieces are stacked. A covered tin keeps them for a few days.
