Nutella Cookies

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM
1 1/2 sticks softened butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 jar Nutella
1/2 tsp. vanilla (I use Penzey's)
2 eggs - room temperature
2  cups flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa (I used Penzey's Dutch Processes)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 bag chocolate chips (I used NestlĂ©’s Dark Chocolate)


HOW TO MAKE THEM

Preheat oven to 350
1- Mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a bowl
2- Cream the butter in your mixer until it turns light yellow and "fluffy".  About 2-3 minutes
Depending on how soft the butter is when you start.
3- add the Sugars and Nutella, mix for about 3 minutes
4 - Add one egg at a time (NOTE: to make the egg room temperature put them in warm water when you start making the cookies, but the time you get to them they will be the right temperature.)
5- Add the vanilla
6- Add the flour mixture to the batter, mix on low until fully combined.
7- Add the chips



On your baking sheets (I use silicone mats, they are awesome and if you bake, you must own them) coop about 2 TBS of dough (I used the "small" cookie scoop, looks like an ice cream scoop)
Bake @ 350 for 10-15 min.  Remove from the oven, let sit for 5 min and then move to Coling rack.
