    You'll need the following ingredients; 

125g Nutella spread
200g Plain flour
180g Sugar
125g Butter
1 Egg
60g Chocolate chips
1/2tsp Baking powder
2tbsp Cocoa powder
3 Salt - pinches

                                                      

Let’s make:

• Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F/ Gas mark 4)

• Mix sugar and butter. Beat together using an electric hand mixer for 2mins (Do not mix too much as the cookies will not become crunchy)

• Add the egg and beat for 1 min

• Add Nutella spread and vanilla. Beat for 2 mins

• Stir in the chocolate pieces

• Mix baking powder, plain flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Sieve onto the mixture

• Now, gently fold everything together using a rubber spatula

• Spread baking parchment paper on a baking tray. Scoop a tablespoonful of the chocolate mixture and place it on the tray. Wet the spoon if the dough sticks to the spoon. Continue with the rest of the mixture leaving enough space for them to spread as they bake

• Prepare two trays if space is not enough

• Place the tray in the bottom of the oven and bake for exactly 20  mins (remember to set the timer)

• Take the tray out of the oven and let the cookies cool on the tray itself. Do not take the cookies out of the tray until they are completely cooled. The heat of the tray will make the cookies crunchy

• You need another tray for the rest of the dough 

Beat butter and sugar together and then add the egg and beat for a few mins

Swift flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder into the batter

Mix Nutella spread

Add in choc chip cookies and wrap them all together

Tips:

• Most importantly, once the cookies are out of the oven, let them fully cool off on the tray itself.  This is the trick to make them crispy and crunchy.  Do not worry if you notice they are still soggy when you take them out of the oven because they will get crispy with the heat of the tray

• Store in an air-tight jar. They will stay crispy for up to a week
