Add the butter, sugars, Nutella, egg and vanilla extract to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix with the paddle attachment until combined and creamy.
In another medium bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix with a whisk.
Add one cup of the dry mixture to the wet and mix until just combined - then repeat with the remaining flour.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours or more.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper then using a cookie scoop take 2 Tablespoons (or 2 scoops) of the cookie dough and quickly roll a little with your hands.
Lay on the cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to set up some more on the cookie sheet, for about 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
The refrigeration is necessary to stop the cookies spreading too fast and becoming too thin.
