Description
Delicious Nutella stuffed cookies that are sure to delight your tastebuds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Nutella (or any hazelnut spread)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Once chilled, scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a teaspoon of Nutella in the center and fold the dough around it, rolling it into a ball.
- Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a fun twist, add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the cookie dough for extra texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a less sweet cookie, reduce the granulated sugar to 1/2 cup and increase the flour by 1/4 cup.
