Nutella Mint Chocolate Chip cookies

Nutella Mint Chocolate Chip cookies 

Ingredients

1 1/3 c flour 2 Tbsp cocoa (I use dark chocolate)
1/4 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt (I use 1/4 tsp when making a double batch)
7 Tbsp butter, softened
2/3 c white sugar
1/3 c brown sugar
2/3 c Nutella
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1/2 c mint chocolate chips (I use the whole bag when making a double batch)

        Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix in the Nutella and vanilla. Add in the egg. Add flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Stir in peanut butter chips. Bake about 11 minutes or until edges look set. Allow cookies to cool on pan for roughly 2-3 minutes before setting on a cooling rack.

I typically make the recipe with peanut butter chips, but for Christmas, I used mint chocolate chips. I double this batch when baking, and that yields roughly 40-42 cookies consistently. I use an ice cream scoop to measure out the cookies. I also use parchment paper on my cookie sheet to avoid sticking or having to grease the sheet. Lastly, these cookies will continue to bake when pulled out of the oven, so if they seem slightly under done, that is ok.
