Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling

  • 1 cup Nutella (chocolate-hazelnut spread)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
  2. Shape and Stuff the Cookies: Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it into a small disc in the palm of your hand. Place about 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center, then fold the dough around the filling, sealing it completely and shaping it into a ball. Repeat this process until all dough and Nutella are used.
  3. Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on the sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the cookies set properly and keeps the Nutella gooey inside.

Notes

  • For easier stuffing, chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes before shaping.
  • You can swap Nutella with any chocolate or hazelnut spread of your choice.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • To keep the gooey center, avoid overbaking the cookies.
