Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Nutella

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer). Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
  • Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  • Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading and ease handling.
  • Take about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten it into a disc. Place about 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center. Wrap the dough around the Nutella, sealing it completely and rolling into a smooth ball. Repeat with remaining dough and Nutella.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look soft.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, letting the Nutella center set but remain gooey.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is essential to prevent Nutella from leaking during baking.
