Adapted from My Italian Grandmother and Giada de Laurentis
1 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup whole wheat or spelt flour (optional - you may use all all-purpose flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup Nutella
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl combine flour, whole wheat or spelt flour (if using) baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside.
In a medium bowl combine the butter, Nutella, sugar and brown sugar. Using an electric mixer, cream the ingredients together, about 4 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir in the flour mixture until just combine. Add chocolate chips and stir until combine.
Spoon out the cookie dough onto a cookie sheet, spacing the dough about 4 inches apart. Bake only until lightly golden around the edges, about 10-12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for a minute or two on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
