Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

Stuffing

  • 1 cup Nutella or any chocolate-hazelnut spread

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  2. Stuff with Nutella: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place about 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center and fold the dough around it completely, sealing the edges so the filling is enclosed.
  3. Bake the Cookies: Place the stuffed dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft with a molten center.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm for a gooey Nutella center or at room temperature for a firmer filling.

Notes

  • To prevent Nutella from leaking, ensure the dough fully encloses the filling and the edges are tightly sealed.
  • You can refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before stuffing to make handling easier.
  • For variation, try using peanut butter or cookie butter instead of Nutella.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
