Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; set aside.
160 g flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp baking powder
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and sugar until light and fluffy.
112 g unsalted butter, 150 g brown sugar, 67 g sugar
Mix in the chocolate hazelnut spread, melted chocolate and vanilla extract until fully combined and uniform in color.
200 g chocolate hazelnut spread, 43 g chocolate chips, 1 tsp vanilla
Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then mix in the egg until incorporated.
1 egg
Add the flour mixture and stir just until combined - avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chocolate chips and Ferrero Rocher pieces until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
130 g dark chocolate chips, 170 g Ferrero Rocher chocolate bars or squares
Scoop the dough into balls (using a #40 cookie scoop or a tablespoon) and place them about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Press a few chocolate chips into the top of each cookie dough ball (optional). Bake in your preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or just until the edges are set and the center is still soft.
Additional chocolate chips for cookie tops
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully moving to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

If you want to bring a little more crunch and double down on the hazelnut flavor, fold 56g - 84g (1/2 - 3/4 cup) of toasted, chopped hazelnuts into the dough before scooping.
