Description
Thick, bakery-style BUENO NYC Cookies with a molten hazelnut filling and melty Kinder chocolate chunks, inspired by the indulgence of New York cookies and Kinder Bueno bars.
Ingredients
Scale
- 150 g unsalted butter (cold)
- 120 g light brown sugar
- 80 g granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 20 g cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons hazelnut spread (frozen into pucks)
- 100 g Kinder chocolate bars (chopped)
- Extra chocolate pieces for topping
- Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: Cream butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Add the egg and yolk. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Mix into the wet ingredients, then fold in chopped Kinder chocolate.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Scoop hazelnut spread into tablespoon-sized portions, freeze until firm, and keep ready.
- Assemble the Dish: Divide dough into 6 portions. Flatten each, wrap around a frozen hazelnut puck, and form into balls. Chill for 1 hour.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake chilled dough balls for 20–22 minutes until golden at the edges but gooey inside.
- Finishing Touches: Immediately press extra chocolate pieces on top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow cookies to rest 15–20 minutes before serving for best texture.
Notes
- Always freeze the hazelnut spread before baking to prevent leaks.
- Chill cookie dough balls before baking for thicker cookies.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven for a warm, gooey center.
