Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

How to make Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

These Nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookies are crisp at the edges, soft in the middle, and filled with a creamy chocolate hazelnut center. Each cookie bakes up golden and thick with melted chocolate chips on top. They are perfect for dessert, sharing, or serving warm when you want something extra indulgent.

1. 1Line a small tray with parchment paper and place 10 teaspoons of Nutella on it in small mounds.
2. 2Freeze the Nutella for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
3. 3Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
4. 4In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and smooth.
5. 5Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined.
6. 6In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
7. 7Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix just until a soft dough forms.
8. 8Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few for the tops.
9. 9Scoop a portion of cookie dough, flatten it slightly, and place one frozen Nutella mound in the center.
10. 10Wrap the dough around the Nutella completely and roll gently into a thick ball.
11. 11Place the stuffed cookies on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each one.
12. 12Press a few chocolate chips on top of each cookie.
13. 13Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
14. 14Let the cookies cool on the tray for 10 minutes before serving warm.

Tips for the best result

• Freeze the Nutella well before stuffing the cookies
• Seal the cookie dough completely around the filling to prevent leaking
• Do not overbake, as the centers should stay soft and gooey
• Chill the stuffed dough balls for 15 minutes before baking if your kitchen is warm
• Serve the cookies slightly warm for the best molten Nutella center
