Description
Nutella-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, chewy cookies filled with a creamy Nutella center. With crisp edges, melty chocolate chips, and a gooey hazelnut surprise, they’re an indulgent twist on a beloved classic.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
- 12 tsp Nutella, chilled in small dollops
Instructions
- Spoon Nutella onto parchment in 12 small dollops. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla; mix until combined.
- Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop a tablespoon of dough, flatten it, place a Nutella center inside, and top with another small scoop of dough. Seal edges well.
- Chill the filled dough balls for 15–20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake for 11–13 minutes, until golden at edges and soft in the center.
- Cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack—or enjoy warm!
Notes
- Mix milk and dark chocolate chips for extra flavor.
- Chopped hazelnuts add crunch; sea salt adds contrast.
- Swap Nutella for peanut butter or caramel for variety.
- Freeze unbaked dough balls for fresh cookies on demand.
- Microwave for 10–15 seconds to re-melt the Nutella center.
