Description
Nutella Stuffed Cookies: A Decadent Treat
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter: Softened (2 sticks)
- 1 cup granulated sugar: For sweetness
- 1 cup brown sugar: Packed, for moisture and flavor
- 2 large eggs: For binding
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract: For flavor
- 3 cups all-purpose flour: For the cookie base
- 1 teaspoon baking soda: For leavening
- 1/2 teaspoon salt: To enhance flavor
- 1 cup chocolate chips: Semi-sweet or milk chocolate (optional)
- 1 cup Nutella: For the gooey center
Instructions
- Scoop Nutella: Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out 1 tablespoon of Nutella and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until you have about 12-15 dollops.
- Freeze: Place the dollops of Nutella in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up while you prepare the cookie dough.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips if desired.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Form Cookies: Take about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a frozen dollop of Nutella in the center and wrap the dough around it, sealing it completely. Roll into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat: Repeat with the remaining dough and Nutella filling, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; this is okay as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy: Once cooled, serve your delicious Nutella stuffed cookies and enjoy the gooey, chocolatey goodness!
