Contest Winner Announced: Congratulations to our winner of the JIF Tasting Giveaway Package, Kelsey, who said "Wow! What a great giveaway, Nikki! I would love to win this. I think the first thing I would do would be to make cheesecake bars swirled with the mocha cappuccino spread. YUM!" Check your email, Kelsey, to claim your prize!
When it comes to peanut butter, there is no question that I'm a choosy mom. I choose JIF--Every.Time. Now, JIF has broken out of its shell and gone hazelnuts! Needless to say, when they contacted me a few months ago about trying their new hazelnut spreads, not only was I interested, but I was immediately excited. I knew I would love it, and love it I do!!
As any weary mother would, I first opened the jars and scooped some out (using a cookie, of course) to eat straight up. I had to stop myself so that I would have enough left to use in a recipe or two.
The box from JIF also included homemade vanilla bean marshmallows from Three Tarts (NYC) and a package of graham crackers. So, when Ben arrived home for his lunch break, we microwaved S'mores, first with the chocolate flavored hazelnut spread, and then of course, we had to have a second one with the mocha cappuccino flavor. To die for.
Since I've been on a cookie baking kick the last few months, largely due to having loads of kids to share with in our neighborhood, I decided I needed to make cookies with the new hazelnut spreads. Right away, my mind went to stuffing this goodness into chocolate chip cookies.
After three trial runs, I came up with a chocolate chip cookie base that is perfect for enveloping a dollop of chocolate hazelnut cheer. Do you remember those store-bought cookies we had as kids with the chocolate centers? They were crispy cookies, and that's exactly what I was going for with these. I didn't want pillowy or soft. I achieved crispy edges, yet chewy towards the center, with a surprise of chocolate hazelnut spread in the middle.
Before we get to the recipe, let's talk about your chance to win a trial of JIF's new hazelnut spreads, with a few other goodies! One of you will win the following package:

Chocolate Hazelnut Surprise Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter , at room temperature
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips , or 1 cup standard chocolate chips
- JIF chocolate hazelnut spread
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time and mix until thoroughly combined. Stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Gradually add to the butter/sugar mixture. Stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop six 1-tablespoon sized dough balls onto each baking sheet (12 total). Using your thumb, press a dent in the center of each dough ball. Fill each thumbprint with about a teaspoon of chocolate hazelnut spread. Carefully top with another tablespoon of dough, pinching the seams together to seal in the hazelnut spread, not allowing it to ooze out. (Following video helps demonstrate.)
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges just start to crisp.

Since I'm Canadian and can't enter :(, I want to know where you got your apron. If it's homemade, do you have a pattern you would be willing to share? I love it!
Nikki says
Hi Kendra. I'm sorry you can't enter! 🙁 Someday I'll have to sponsor my own giveaway and involve Canada, as well, since I know I have a lot of readers from there! 🙂
I bought my apron when we lived in California at a store called Ross. I'm not sure if you have those stores or not. I checked the tag on it, and it just says "Paisley Manor" as if it's the company name, but I Googled it and this apron does not come up. Maybe you'll have better luck! Have you checked Anthropologie's aprons? I love those, as well! They had some on sale the last time I visited, so maybe they still do... 🙂

Yumyum.

Ummmm....yes, yes, yes, yes!! I want to try it every way imaginable, it looks so yummy!
Brianna says
I would make some cookies, eat it on graham crackers and eat it with a spoon!
sherryh says
I'd spread it generously on a warm toasted bagel.....
Sherri says
I would eat it with a spoon!

Really this would be great to just eat as a sandwich but I think trying it with apples sounds very yummy.

Kim of Mo'Betta says
I'm sure I would eat right from a spoon, but my kids love to have flavored spreads like this on a tortilla...just roll it up and they will eat it with lunch or for snack!
Carlina Orris says
I would love to try it on top of brownies!
Janna M says
I had no idea that Jif made this. My kids love a dollop of chocolate hazelnut spread and a bowl of animals crackers to dip.
I'd try it in brownies.
Jenny says
I think I would eat it straight out of the jar first! Then I would probably make the cookie recipe.
Rosemary says
first from a spoon , then thumbprints cookies. yum
Anthony M says
Those cookies look superbly tempting. I wouldn't mind using the Jif spread to make them! However, I'd kind of like to chop a nice sweet apples, a few bananas, and a couple of strawberries, and dip the fruit into the chocolate hazelnut spread. Now that sounds delicious! Thanks for the opportunity!
Kimberly says
I'd use this spread over some toast or probably try out this recipe! It looks delicious!
Courtney B says
I'd dip a graham cracker or two at first, but I'd definitely be giving your recipe for surprise cookies a try next.
Krystal R {Mrs. Regueiro's Plate} says
OH.EMMM.GEEEEEE. I'd just eat the spreads right out of the jar, then I might make these cookies and s'mores, too. Maybe a hazelnut ice cream shake? OMG....I'm drooling just thinking about it!
Lauren says
Knowing me, I'd probably eat it straight!
Sarah L says
Those look delicious! I would probably spread a little on toast first, but then I might have to make those cookies.
Leighann says
I'd scoop out a spoonful and eat it after putting the kids to bed!
Deanna G. says
I would dip pretzels in it! 🙂
Alexa says
If I'm able to resist eating it with a spoon, I think I would put this into an ice cream! Mmmm.
April was in CT now CA says
In this order once a jar is in my house: Spoon > S'more > Your cookie recipe.
sabine says
If the spreads are as good as their jif pb, my kids will want them on toast.
Katelyn says
I would like to use the Jif hazelnut chocolate deliciousness in crepes with bananas inside and powdered sugar on top. Also on tart green apples (because apples cancel out chocolate of course).
Elizabeth says
I want to eat it on a spoon...it looks so yummy!
Katelyn says
I followed Jif 🙂
Katelyn says

Megan S. says
I keep looking at this at the grocery store wondering if I want to purchase it or not...and this would be awesome to win! I would probably use it in oatmeal, on bananas and apples, and straight from the spoon 🙂
Anonymous says
Oh my goodness! I didn't know that these existed!!! If I won, I'd eat them with a spoon, or maybe on a graham cracker so I didn't feel too guilty... 🙂
Alyssa H says
I just bought an ice cream maker...Jif Hazelnut ice cream sounds great right?
Liz S. says
I would like to try those cookies. I would also use it to make a sandwich with sliced bananas. Yum!
Cara says
I was going to say on a crepe with strawberries, but the ice cream idea above sounds even better!
LeighAnne says
I followed you on twitter and retweeted the contest!
Brianna says
I would love to try some of this slathered on a crepe with sliced bananas--yum!
LeighAnne says
I followed Jif on twitter!
Candy says
I'm thinking it would be great with a banana and some strawberries!! YUM!!
LeighAnne says
I'm going to go with straight off the spoon.....then try it in my family no-bake cookie recipe. Yummmmm. Then maybe a smoothie concoction.
Kim says
We love it on our toast with a bit of Jif peanut butter swirled in.
Melissa @ Kids in the Sink says
I sooooo want to make this recipe! And also, eat it with a spoon. Yes, please.

Oh the recipe sounds great but I am sure on a piece of toast or on an apple the Jif would be just as delicious.

I just printed out a recipe for mini hazelnut cheesecakes using the new Jif spread, and I can't wait to try it!
Mike says
I think I'd probably just start out with a PB sandwich! That's what I have for breakfast most days when I tire of oatmeal.
I'm not a mother, but I'm choosy about my PB and love JIF.
