Ferrero Rocher Cookies combine crispy texture, rich chocolate, and nutty hazelnuts to create a decadent, homemade cookie inspired by the famous Ferrero Rocher chocolates. Perfectly crispy on the outside with a slightly chewy center, these cookies are easy to make with simple pantry ingredients and deliver a gourmet taste ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup chopped or melted chocolate (milk, dark, or white chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Chop hazelnuts and chocolate into small, even pieces for consistent distribution.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
  3. Cream the Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and pale, creating a light and sweet base for the cookies.
  4. Incorporate the Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, forming the moist cookie dough base.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing and maintain tenderness.
  6. Fold in Hazelnuts and Chocolate: Carefully fold in the chopped hazelnuts and chocolate pieces to evenly distribute flavor and texture throughout the dough.
  7. Shape and Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them well to allow spreading. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until edges are crisp and slightly firm but centers remain soft.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely for ideal texture and set.

Notes

  • Use softened, room temperature butter to ensure smooth and even creaming with sugar.
  • Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender and prevent toughness.
  • Chop nuts and chocolate evenly for uniform flavor distribution and consistent baking.
  • Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  • Watch baking time carefully; remove cookies once edges look set to maintain a chewy center.
