Nutella Cookies

The giant jar of these cookies at my café, Miss Ruben, is only ever half full because we can’t make them fast enough.

Serves: 25

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C.
  • Combine the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat together on medium speed until well combined and lightly coloured. Do not overmix.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and whisk on low speed until well combined.
  • Line three baking trays with baking paper. 
  • Shape the cookie dough into 45g balls and place on the trays, spaced about 3cm apart to allow for spreading. Gently flatten them to about 1cm  thick, then make a small dent in the centre of each cookie with your finger.
  • Place a generous 1½ teaspoons of Nutella in each of the dents. 
  • Sprinkle each cookie with a little sea salt.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool and crisp up before serving.
