Ingredients

  • 1 cup Nutella 270 grams
  • ½ cup unsalted butter 113 grams (1 stick), melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar 107 grams
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar 50 grams
  • 1 large egg 50 grams, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 240 grams
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda 3 grams
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 ounces finely chopped dark chocolate 85 grams (or chocolate chips)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spread a piece of parchment paper out on a large baking sheet. Using a ½-tablespoon measuring spoon, measure out heaping scoops of Nutella, and place them on the baking sheet. You should have 24 total scoops. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 20 minutes, until the Nutella hardens.

  • While the Nutella chills, in a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars together using a hand mixer. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until incorporated.

  • Remove the Nutella from the freezer. Use a cookie scoop to gather a portion of the dough in your hand. Make a small indentation in the ball of dough. Take a frozen dollop of Nutella and place it in the well of the cookie dough, and gently roll the dough between your hands to form a ball that completely covers the Nutella. Place back on the baking sheet. Repeat until the cookie dough is gone.

Notes

  • Don't over-mix the cookie dough when you add in the flour. This can overdevelop the gluten leading to heavy cookies.
  • These cookies only take about 10 minutes to bake, so keep your eye on them. They are done when the tops are solid and the edges are golden brown.
  • Cool the cookies on a wire rack. This allows the air to circulate around them so that they don't get soggy.
Storage: Store Nutella stuffed cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
