Description
Soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies with a rich, gooey Nutella center, combining classic cookie flavor with an indulgent chocolate-hazelnut surprise.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup Nutella (chilled and scooped into small dollops)
Instructions
- Scoop small dollops of Nutella onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20–30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually mix in dry ingredients, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop cookie dough, flatten slightly, place a frozen Nutella dollop in the center, and wrap dough around it.
- Place cookies on the baking sheet, spacing evenly apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Freezing Nutella makes stuffing much easier.
- Do not overbake to keep cookies soft.
- Serve warm for the best gooey center.
