Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Chocolate and Nut Mix-ins:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 1 cup crushed Ferrero Rocher chocolates
Instructions
- Heat your oven precisely to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
- Cream 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Incorporate 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until the mixture looks smooth and consistent.
- Separately combine 2½ cups all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon salt in a clean mixing bowl.
- Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the butter mixture, stirring gently until ingredients are completely integrated.
- Carefully mix in 1 cup chopped hazelnuts, 1 cup chocolate chips, and 1 cup crushed Ferrero Rocher chocolates throughout the dough.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies at 350°F for exactly 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges as your doneness indicator.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and allow cookies to rest on the baking surface for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- Chop the Ferrero Rocher into small, uneven pieces to distribute the chocolate and hazelnut throughout the cookie dough for maximum flavor.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create a thicker, chewier cookie texture.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes, which helps ensure even baking and a professional-looking batch of cookies.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend and ensure your chocolate chips are also gluten-free.
