How to Make Nutella Stuffed Cookies
Ingredients:
- A jar of Nutella
- 120g unsalted butter, cold
- 100g brown sugar
- 100g granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 280g plain flour
- 2 tablespoons corn flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 200g chocolate, chopped
Directions:
-
Start by adding 6 small dollops of Nutella onto a baking paper lined tray. You can either use a spoon to do this or put the Nutella into a piping bag and pipe the dollops. Leave this in your freezer so that the Nutella can fully freeze.
-
In a large bowl, add the cold butter, both sugars, and vanilla. Beat these together for about 5 minutes.
-
Mix the egg and egg yolk into this mixture.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the plain flour, corn flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this into the butter mixture along with the chopped chocolate. Mix everything until you can no longer see any flour. The cookie dough may seem crumbly, which is good.
-
Divide the dough into 140g pieces. You should get about 6 or 7 pieces.
-
Take one piece of cookie dough, flatten it out, and add one piece of the frozen Nutella into the center. Roll this into a ball, ensuring the Nutella is fully covered.
-
Repeat this with the rest of the cookie dough, then place them on a tray and freeze for an hour.
-
About 10 minutes before you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 220°C/425°F.
-
Place your cookie dough balls on a large baking paper lined tray, making sure to leave gaps between them to allow for spreading.
-
Bake the cookies for about 20-22 minutes.
-
Once baked, take them out of the oven and let them cool on the tray for about 15 minutes. They will be too soft to move right away. Enjoy!
How to Serve Nutella Stuffed Cookies
Serve these cookies warm for the best experience. You can also drizzle some melted chocolate over the top for an extra treat. Pair them with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert!
How to Store Nutella Stuffed Cookies
Keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want them to last longer, you can freeze them. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or store them in a freezer bag.
Tips to Make Nutella Stuffed Cookies
- Use cold butter to get the right texture in your cookies.
- Make sure the Nutella is fully frozen before adding it to the cookie dough; this helps it stay intact while baking.
- Do not overmix the dough; mix until just combined for softer cookies.
Variation
You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans to the cookie dough for an added crunch. Alternatively, try using different fillings, like peanut butter or caramel, instead of Nutella.
