Addicting and decadent Nutella chocolate chip cookies with a sprinkle of flakey sea salt. These amazing cookies come together quickly and make for the ultimate dessert.
The inspiration...
Nutella is of course the inspiration here! Who doesn't love eating Nutella? It is addicting to eat and even better baked into a cookie. Yes, I made these obsessively delicious cookies! I have already made a stuffed Nutella cookie for you on this blog and I thought why not make a Nutella-based cookie. All stuffed cookies are fun to make and fun to eat but these cookies are easy to whip up quickly and everyone will enjoy eating these.
These cookies are fudgy, rich, and absolutely delicious! I made these for my Thanksgiving celebration and everyone was grabbing seconds and thirds of these cookies!

The Nutella-based cookie dough...
The dough of these cookies is rich in flavor and dark in color from the cocoa and Nutella. Nutella is a dangerous ingredient to add to any baked good because it is so damn good!
A few tips:
Nutella - you can add as much or as little Nutella in this batter as you want. Feel free to play around with the quantity to get more or less flavor.
Chocolate chips or chocolate chunks - I used chocolate chips for this recipe but chocolate chunks would work well in this cookie.
Banging of the cookies - These cookies come out looking beautifully after you bang the cookies on the countertop halfway through the baking process and at the very end. It will slightly flatten the cookies and form those nice ridges.
Storage - these cookies will last the week in an air-tight container or you can store the cookie dough in the fridge to bake the cookies at a later date.
