What you’ll need to make Ferrero Rocher cookies
These chocolate hazelnut cookies are so delicious, and they come together in 6 ingredients—you can’t beat that!
- Brownie Mix. Use your favorite standard-size box of brownie mix — most will range from 16-19 ounces, depending on the brand. I made the cookies pictured here with Trader Joe’s mix, but I’ve also made this recipe with Ghiradelli and Dunken Hines mixes.
- Hazelnuts. We’ll stir chopped hazelnuts into the batter so every bite is full of delicious chocolate-hazelnut flavor. Think Nutella, but in crispy cookie form!
- Ferrero Rocher Candies. Don’t worry, you’ll only use a few. A little goes a long way here! Looking for a deal? Snag a holiday pack after the holidays are over. I also love to buy them at warehouse stores, like BJs or Costco.
- Vegetable Oil. Or any other neutral oil.
- Eggs.
- Water.
Ingredient Tip
- Store leftover hazelnuts in the fridge or freezer. They’ll last longer before going stale or rancid!
How to make them:
Mix the brownie mix, cocoa powder, egg, water, and oil. Add in the chopped hazelnuts.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The cookies will spread as they bake, so leave a little space between them.
Top each cookie with Ferrero Rocher crumbs. The easiest way to make these crumbs is to smash each candy with the flat side of a large knife.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until set.
Tips and substitutions:
If you don’t have cocoa powder, you can use flour instead.
Is your brownie mix is too thin? add 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder or flour until it firms up.
If your dough is too sticky, let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
Make the dough ahead of time and freeze it in individual portions for cookies whenever you want! Cook them from frozen, adding2-3 minutes to the cooking time.
If you don’t have Ferrero Rocher candies, go get some! OK, I’m kidding (kind of). You can leave the candy off and top these cookies with a finely chopped hazelnuts. You’ll get a similar chocolate-hazelnut flavor but you will lose the delicious crispy wafer part of the candy.
If you’re using a very plain brownie mix, go ahead and stir in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips for even more chocolate flavor.
