Ingredients
- 7 ounces bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
- 5 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 eggs (whole)
- 1 jar Nutella (not all will be used)
Preparation
Step 1
In a 2-quart saucepan combine the chocolate and butter. Stir constantly over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat. Let cool.
Step 2
In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated and brown sugar with the eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 2 to 3 minutes or until lightened in color. Beat in melted chocolate from step 1. Add the flour mixture from step 2 and beat until combined. Make sure not to over-beat.
Step 4
Cover the surface of the cookie dough with plastic wrap. Let it stand for 20 minutes to allow the dough to thicken.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Drop 1/4 cup mounds of dough onto the cookie sheets 3 inches apart (4 cookies per baking sheet). Bake cookies for 13 minutes until the tops are set. Remove from the oven and let them sit 2 minutes on the cookie sheet. Carefully transfer the cookies to the cooling rack and cool.
Step 6
Cover tops of cookies with as much Nutella as desired.
