Description
These irresistibly rich Kinder chocolate chunk cookies are soft, chewy, and filled with chunks of Kinder chocolate, topped with a decadent hazelnut praline that adds a crunchy and creamy texture for the ultimate indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3.5 oz (100g) Kinder chocolate bars, chopped into chunks
- 1/2 cup (120g) hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
- 1/3 cup (40g) toasted hazelnuts, chopped
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped Kinder chocolate chunks.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- While cookies cool, make the hazelnut praline topping by combining hazelnut spread and chopped toasted hazelnuts.
- Once cookies are fully cooled, spoon or pipe the hazelnut praline mixture on top of each cookie.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve.
Notes
- Ensure the cookies are fully cooled before adding the praline topping to prevent melting.
- You can use store-bought or homemade toasted hazelnuts.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
