Most indulgent cookie ever!
Nutella cookies can wake you up even in the middle of the night. Nutella cookies are a time saver, and no cookies can take their place. The simplest, easy and mouthwatering cookies ever.
Have you ever felt the craving for a cookie that oozes out chocolate just after your first bite?! I have often felt it, and now my little sweet-toothed toddler has also joined hands with me. She loves this cookie more than I do. My little lady love can make out exactly from the aroma itself what is baking inside the oven.
Here is a quick and simple recipe for you that can be baked in less than 15 mins.
In a big bowl take melted butter and sugar. Beat it until they combine well together. It is not necessary to use an electric beater. You can whisk with your hand also, using a spatula. Since we are not looking for a cake-like texture, we don’t have to stress about the butter’s consistency. Because we are looking for a crunchier yet mellower from the inside kind of cookie, it’s OK to melt your butter with the help of heat.
Add flour and baking powder. If the butter is unsalted, add a pinch of salt as well. Now note carefully that adding a tspn of corn flour helps the batter from developing any minor gluten. Meaning if you want your cookie to not appear like mini cakes, then do add a little bit of corn flour; it should give your cookie a crunchier crust and be chewy from the inside.
———— For baking in oven ———-
- Refrigerate this dough for half an hour. In a baking tray lined with parchment paper, align these cookie doughs with a one-tablespoon measurement, leaving a 2-inch space from all sides.
- Then add a tbsp of Nutella and place it on top of this dough again, covering it from all sides, meaning the Nutella should be sandwiched in.
- Another way is to make a bowl-shaped dough in your hand and pour the Nutella in the center and roll it like a ball and give a very slight press from the top after you have aligned it on the tray.
- Make sure you don’t have any cracks to let Nutella ooze out while it is baking. Bake at 180 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until the top looks golden brown.
- After taking it out, leave it on the countertop for 10 mins before serving.
————- For baking in cooker ———-
- Take a heavy-bottom base vessel, add a stand and line your tray with parchment paper.
- Or you can add 2 cups of salt inside a wide chatti and put a stand inside for a second option.
- Follow the steps as mentioned above in the oven method. Cover and cook for around 30 mins.
- The lid should have a vent, or your cookie will end up being soggy and mushy. This process may take a longer time for baking.
