Nutella-Stuffed Cookies
While we certainly adore classic chocolate chip cookies and indulgent double chocolate treats, this particular recipe might surpass them all to become our ultimate favorite chocolate cookie. Prepare to witness a touch of culinary wizardry with these incredible Nutella-Stuffed cookies. Each bite offers a tender, intensely chocolatey cookie that reveals a lusciously gooey center of melted Nutella. And to top it off, a delicate sprinkle of flaky sea salt adds the perfect sweet-salty balance.The only slightly "tricky" aspect of this recipe is that both the Nutella and the cookie batter need a brief stint in the freezer to ensure they become manageable enough for shaping the cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c. Nutella
- 1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 c. packed brown sugar
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp. milk
- 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 c. unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 1-tablespoon balls of Nutella onto prepared baking sheet (24 balls total). Transfer baking sheet into the freezer and allow the Nutella balls to freeze completely, about 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla and beat until combined, then add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Place dough in the freezer, along with the Nutella, is and let set for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten into a pancake-like circle. Top with a frozen Nutella ball and cover with dough, pinching to seal and adding more dough if necessary to completely cover. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough and frozen Nutella, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle cookies with flaky sea salt and bake until puffed, 15 minutes. Let cool on pan 5 minutes before serving.
