Lola’s Kitchen is a feature on Lola’s Reviews where I talk about all things related to food, cooking and baking. These posts can be recipe posts, tens list posts about food or recipes or more discussion type posts about food. I love cooking and spend some time in the kitchen almost every day, so I wanted to give it a place on my blog as well. The banner for this feature is designed by Michelle from Limabean Designs.
Today I have a delicious cookie recipe for you! I was in the mood to make soem cookies and I found a reicpe for nutella cookies on one of my pinterest boards and it soudned perfect for what I wanted to eat. I had all the ingredients in house and decided to make them. I made a few tweaks to the recipe (more nutella and less chocolate chips) and they were delicious and I soon make them another time so I could share the recipe with you all. These nutella cookies or hazelnut paste cookies as I like to call them are soft an chewy delicious cookies that really taste like hazelnut paste and have chocolate chips in them. Perfect for any chocolate lover.
This recipe is based on American heritage Cooking her Soft Nutella Chcooclate Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- Flour – 220 gram/ 1 3/4 cups
- Nutella or other brand hazelnut paste – 81 gram/ 2/3 cup
- Butter – 113 gram/ 1/2 cup
- Sugar – 150 gram/ 3/4 cup
- Bittersweet Chocolate chips – 100 gram/ heaped 1/2 cup
- Egg – 1
- Vanilla Extract – 2 teaspoons
- Cornstarch – 2 teaspoons
- Baking Soda – 1 teaspoon
- Salt – a pinch
This recipe makes about two batches of cookies, enough to feed two people who love these cookies for 2-3 days.
Method
- In a large bowl combine melted butter, hazelnut paste, sugar, egg and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- Then add the dry ingredients, salt, cornstarch, baking sode and flour. Mix for a few minutes.
- Now stir in the chocolate chips. Yes the dough looks a bit weird, it’s supposed to, see pictures.
- Put the dough in the fridge for about 10 minutes. You can cool it longer ofcourse up till a whole day cooling. I tried to make the cookies without cooling and they get abit flatter then, but it is possible. Then I tried to cool them only for a short time and that worked too. So with at leats 10 minutes cooling you can bake them.
- Preheat your oven to 150 degrees celcius/ 350 degrees fahrenheit. Once the oven is warmed up, get the dough from the fridge and roll into small balls. Place them on a baking plate covered with bakign paper and space them apart.
- Bake for about 9 till 11 minutes or till the edges are set, but before they start to brown.
- Let the cookies cool down for a bit and then enjoy!

Variation Tips
- Hzelnut Paste and peanut butter cookies. I haven’t tried this myself yet, but I imagine if you make half of this recipe and half of my peanut butter cookies recipe and then combine a small ball of each dough and smash it together you get a delicious cookie that taste like chocolate and penaut butter.
- No hazelnut paste cookies. Instead of hazelnut paste you can also use a different flavour of chocolate paste, like pure, milk or white chocolate paste. If you have something with a similiar texture like caramel, you might even be able to use that instead.
- Peanut Butter cookies. Use Peanut Butter instead of hazelnut paste and you have peanut butter cookies instead.
- Hazelnut Paste Cookies without chocolate chips or milk/ white chocolate chips. If you dont’like chocolate chips in your cookies or don’t have them, simply make them without. Or if you don’t like bittwrsweet chocolate feel free to use milk or white chocolate instead.
Oh my goodness, Lola! That looks very, very yummy! I need to try that one of these days – I’m really in a mood for cookies these days, and all my kids love baking with me, too!
Thanks for sharing 🙂

I hope you and your colleagues will like these! They definitely would make for good christmas cookies!
I’ve tried Nutella one time and gave the rest of the jar to my daughter because I didn’t like the taste of it. I like chocolate, hazelnuts and milk so I don’t know why I don’t like it. I like making homemade cookies but my go to cookie is peanut butter cookies.

I like nutella, although I don’t eat it often on bread anymore, but these cookies are a great way to eat nutella in my opinion. That’s weird that you do like chocolate, hazelnuts and milk and not nutella. I really like peanut butter cookies as well.
Oh Lola, these sound divine. I love Nutella, I would have it on everything if I could!

These sounds like the perfect type of cookies for you then. I really like nutella, so when I saw this recipe I had to give it a try and the fact that they are cookies makes me appreciate the nutella flavour even more.

OMG! *drools*
We have all of these ingredients! In fact, my mom was just complaining because our Nutella is going to expire this month and she doesn’t want to waste it. We should bake these!

That’s definitely a good reason to bake these, it’s a shame to let nutella go to waste. I hope you’ll give these a try!

omg nutella cookies? yummy yummy, don’t you love what cornstarch does to cookies? keeps them nice and soft, love it

I think these were one of the first cookies I made with cornstarch and I definitely like how they stay nice and soft. I might have to add it to cookies more often!
Cookie dough, I eat it raw and lick the bowl and spatula. Scary though because of the raw eggs lol

I never dare eat cookie dough because of the raw eggs. I prefer to bake them first 😉

Lola, these sound delightful! I’ll have to give them a try. I’m making your cinnamon sugar pumpkin cookies this morning. I’ll let you know how it goes! 🙂

I hope the cinnamon sugar pumpkin cookies turned out great!
I really want to make these hazelnut paste cookies again soon, they are really good. You really taste the hazelnut paste.
Ha! Perfect timing. I just bought some Nutella on sale. It is generally a little expensive so I never buy it, but saw the sale and snagged it. I had another recipe in mind for Nutella cookies, but this sounds better. Thanks, Lola!

I usually buy hazelnut paste from our local supermarket their brand, which tastes almost as good as nutella and isn’t as pricey.
That makes me happy to hear that my recpe sounds better than the other one you found ;). I love this recipe and just made these cookies again this evening, they are really good and the nutella flavour really makes these cookies outstanding.
I always love to come by to see what yummy things you’re cooking up!

They are so good it’s hard to stop eating them! Just made them again this evening.

Hmmm I may have to try nutella cookies again. I love nutella but the ones I made tasted nothing like it and I was so bummed over the loss of so much nutella to make them. Glad these were yummy!

Oh that’s a shame the ones you made didn’t taste like nutella. These have a rich nutella flavour and you can even add more nutella if you want to. I accidently misread the amount of nutella last time I made these and added almost the double amount, the cookies got a bit flat, but still tasted great.
