Giant Nutella Cookie
perfect for the young ones (or the young at heart!)
Ingredientes
- 240 g unsalted butter (softened)
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 80 g white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 200 g farinha s/ fermento
- 90 g hazelnut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 200 g dark chocolate chips
- 50 g hazelnuts (toasted and skinned)
- 200 g nutella (or another chocolate and hazelnut cream)
Preparação
- Preheat the oven to 180 º C.
- To make the hazelnut flour, blitz toasted hazelnuts in the food processor until you have a powder.
- In a bowl, mix the flours, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
- Beat the softened butter with sugars until creamy and paler in color.
- Add the egg and vanilla. Beat for a few more minutes.
- Add the dry ingredients and keep beating, just enough to incorporate them in the mix.
- Set aside 50 g of chocolate chips for the decoration. Stir the remaining chocolate into the cookie dough.
- Spread roughly half of the cookie dough on a deep pie dish of about 24 cm in diameter.
- Warm up the nutella for a few seconds in the microwave, so it is easier to spread. Distribute it on top of the cookie, leaving a border of about 2 cm.
- Spread the remaining cookie dough on top of the nutella, making sure to "close" the borders of the cookie.
- Decorate the top of the cookie with the remaining chocolate chips and coarsely chopped hazelnuts.
- Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cookie is set and golden. Test with a skewer - it should come out dry in the edges but still moist in the center, for a fudgy cookie. For a dryer cookie, bake for an extra 5 minutes.
- Serve still warm or reheated in the microwave, to enjoy with a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
