Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 10 tbsp (slightly heaped) Nutella (or other chocolate-nut spread)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or chopped 70% dark chocolate)
Cookie Dough
- 1 1/3 cups plain flour / all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda (bi-carbonate soda)
- 1/4 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
- 120g / 8 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 1 cm / 1/2″ cubes (fridge cold is fine)
- 2/3 cup (tightly packed) brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp honey (or corn syrup)
- 1 large egg (55g / 2 oz), at room temperature
Instructions
- Prepare the cookie dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the cold unsalted butter cubes with brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, honey, and the room temperature egg, beating until thoroughly combined. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients to form a soft cookie dough.
- Shape the cookies: Take portions of dough and flatten them into discs about 3 inches in diameter. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of Nutella and some dark chocolate chips in the center of each disc.
- Seal the cookies: Carefully fold the edges of the dough discs over the Nutella filling, pinching the dough to seal completely, ensuring the Nutella is fully enclosed. Shape into smooth balls to maintain filling inside during baking.
- Bake the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spaced evenly apart. Bake for about 12 minutes or until the edges are crisp and golden while the center remains soft.
- Cool and serve: Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes. This resting time lets the edges crisp up while keeping the Nutella molten inside for the perfect gooey texture. Enjoy warm for the ultimate cookie experience.
Notes
- These cookies have a chewy and soft center with a crispy edge and a molten Nutella filling that floods the mouth.
