Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (280g) Nutella or hazelnut spread
  • 1 large (50g) Egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup (125g) All-purpose flour

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cookies don't stick.
  2. Combine the Nutella and the egg in a mixing bowl. Stir vigorously with a spatula until the mixture is glossy and completely smooth.
  3. Sift in the flour and stir gently. Note: Sifting removes clumps for a smoother dough.
  4. Mix until the last streak of white flour disappears. Stop immediately to avoid overworking the gluten.
  5. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough.
  6. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the sheet.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  8. Remove them until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes to firm up.
