  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup creamy Nutella

How to Make Nutella Stuffed Cookies

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Before you begin with the dough, prepare the Nutella filling. Spoon small dollops (about 1 teaspoon each) of Nutella onto a parchment-lined plate and freeze for at least 15 minutes. This ensures the Nutella stays gooey inside the cookie while baking.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3: Make the Cookie Dough

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Incorporate Nutella: Add ¼ cup of Nutella to the mixture, stirring until just blended.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Cookies

    1.       Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it into a disc.

    2.       Place a frozen Nutella dollop in the center and cover with another tablespoon of dough.

    3.       Seal the edges and roll gently into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.


Step 5: we bake

     Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked

Step 6:Cool and Serve 

   Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm for maximum gooeyness!
