Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup Nutella
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks/226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup white sugar
Dry/Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Extract frozen Nutella dollops from the freezer, ensuring they are firm and well-shaped.
- Heat oven to 350°F, positioning racks in the center and preparing parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Combine softened butter with brown and white sugars, whipping until the mixture transforms into a light, airy consistency.
- Integrate eggs individually, thoroughly blending after each addition, then incorporate vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
- Separately combine flour, baking soda, and salt, whisking to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the butter mixture, creating a uniform cookie dough.
- Gently mix chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution.
- Divide dough into portions, flattening each piece into a disc.
- Place a frozen Nutella dollop in the center of each dough disc, carefully encasing the filling by wrapping and sealing the dough around it.
- Roll transformed dough balls, creating smooth spheres with concealed Nutella centers.
- Arrange cookie dough balls on prepared baking sheets, maintaining approximately 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, watching for golden edges while preserving soft centers.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Freeze Nutella dollops in advance to ensure clean, easy stuffing without messy spreading during cookie assembly.
- Use room temperature ingredients like butter and eggs for smoother, more evenly mixed cookie dough that promotes better texture and rise.
- Chill cookie dough balls for 15-20 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain a thick, chewy cookie shape.
- Experiment with alternative nut butters or chocolate spreads for different flavor variations while maintaining the same delicious stuffed cookie concept.
