Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (90g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Filling

  • 1 jar (13 oz) Nutella or any hazelnut spread

Substitutions

  • Butter: Can be replaced with coconut oil for a dairy-free option
  • Brown Sugar: Use coconut sugar for a healthier alternative
  • Chocolate Chips: Dark chocolate chips can enhance the richness

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and to achieve the perfect chewy texture in your cookies.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This incorporates air, which helps create the ideal cookie texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to combine before adding dry ingredients.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid tough cookies.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter, distributing chocolate chunks evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Prepare Nutella Centers: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, take a small amount of dough and flatten it in your palm. Place about 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center, fold the dough entirely around the filling, sealing it well, and roll into a ball. Arrange the cookie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. The centers should look slightly underbaked when removed, as they will continue setting while cooling on the baking sheet.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm for the best gooey Nutella experience.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to keep cookies tender and soft.
  • Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and ensure Nutella replacement is dairy-free.
  • Enjoy cookies warm to fully experience the gooey Nutella centers, or reheat slightly before serving.
