1/2 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 large egg

🧊 Freezing the Nutella dollops until rock solid is non-negotiable; even slightly soft Nutella will melt and leak out during baking.
🧈 Use room temperature butter for the dough to achieve a chewier texture and prevent greasy cookies.
⏲️ Do not skip chilling the dough; it firms up the butter, prevents excessive spreading, and keeps the cookies thick and soft.
