Nutella-Stuffed Cookies
Why can't everything be stuffed with Nutella?
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
- 1½ c. Nutella
- 1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 c. packed brown sugar
- ½ c. sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp. milk
- 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 c. unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 1-tablespoon balls of Nutella onto prepared baking sheet (24 balls total).
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla and beat until combined, then add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Refrigerate dough while Nutella is in freezer.
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten into a pancake-like circle. Top with a frozen Nutella ball and cover with dough, pinching to seal and adding more dough if necessary to completely cover. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough and frozen Nutella, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle cookies with flaky sea salt and bake until puffed, 15 minutes. Let cool on pan 5 minutes before serving.
