Nutella Chocolate Stuffed Cookies Ingredients

This recipe uses easy-to-find ingredients that can be bought from a local store or online. Read the recipe card for more details and measurements.

• Salted butter: Use cold butter for this recipe to give the cookies a fluffy texture. You don't have to add salt to this recipe if you use salted butter. However, if you don't have salted butter then use unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt instead.
• Brown sugar: This will add sweetness and a caramelized flavor to the cookies.
• Egg: Add one egg to help bind the cookies as they bake.
• Vanilla extract: A few drops will balance out the flavor of the cookies perfectly.
• All-purpose flour: Sift the flour to remove excess lumps and dirt.
• Baking soda: This will help the cookies to rise but make sure it has not expired as it will not work.
• Nutella or chocolate spread of your choice: I used Nutella but feel free to use any other good-quality chocolate spread for the best results. You may also enjoy this decadent quick nutella milkshake.

Tips and Substitutions

• Mixing: Scrape down the side of the mixing bowls as you make a batter or dough. This ensures that all of the ingredients are evenly and uniformly combined.
• Chocolate spread: Do not use the chocolate blobs until they are set. If they are too soft, they will start melting as you work with them. If they need to be left for another 30 minutes, then do so.
• Cookies: To make evenly sized cookies, it is best to divide your cookie dough by weight. You can first weigh the entire dough ball and divide the number by 20. Weigh each ball as you make it to ensure it is precisely the right size.
• Filling: You can use any chocolate spread that you like!

How to Make Nutella Chocolate Stuffed Cookies

Prep: Start by lining a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Then, add 20 heaped teaspoon of Nutella chocolate spread onto the lined tray. Each blob can be roughly 1 ½ inches in diameter. Next, place the tray inside the freezer to set the chocolate completely. Leave them for at least 1 hour.

1. Preheat your oven to 360ºF (180ºC). Place the cold butter in a bowl.
2. Add brown sugar to the mixing bowl.
3. Then, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed for about 4 minutes or until light and fluffy.
4. Next, add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl.

5. Mix until just incorporated and set the wet ingredients aside for later.
6. Sift the all-purpose flour and baking soda into a separate large bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients bowl. Then, carefully mix the ingredients until a dough forms.
7. Add chocolate chips to the cookie dough and mix. The dough should have a uniform consistency and texture. Scoop dough using one tablespoon.
8. Scoop the dough and shape it into a ball.

9. Then, roll and flatten each ball on a non-stick surface or by hand into a 2 ½ 3-inch disc.
10. Place the frozen chocolate blob in the center of your cookie dough disc.
11. Shape the cookie dough around the chocolate dollop into a perfectly round ball. Seal the dough to prevent the Nutella from leaking.
12. Then, place the ball onto a lined baking sheet and flatten it slightly. Repeat these steps with the remaining dough and add the leftover chocolate chips on top of each dough ball.

13. Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes. They shouldn't brown too much or set. They will still be soft when you remove them.

14. After baking, let them cool in the baking tray for 5 minutes. Then, move them to a wire rack and allow them to cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.

15. Finally, enjoy these mouth-watering stuffed Nutella chocolate chip cookies and serve them as a treat or snack with Homemade Chocolate Drink.
