2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread

Instructions

2. Add eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
4. Slowly combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just incorporated.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts gently.
6. Add dollops of chocolate hazelnut spread and swirl through the dough without fully mixing it in.
7. Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft.
9. Let cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack.

Notes
Use room temperature butter for better creaming.
Do not overmix the dough once flour is added.
For best swirls, chill the dough slightly before baking.
