Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed (165 g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (150 g) Nutella, chilled slightly

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and slightly glossy.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing on low until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly through the dough.
  7. Chill the Nutella in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
  8. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out a portion of dough and flatten slightly in your palm. Place about 1 teaspoon of chilled Nutella in the center, then top with another scoop of dough. Seal the edges carefully to enclose the Nutella completely.
  9. Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look soft. They will firm up as they cool.
  11. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill the Nutella and dough to prevent leaking. Seal dough edges tightly around the Nutella. Avoid overbaking to keep centers gooey. Use room temperature eggs and butter for easier mixing and shaping. Dough can be chilled if too sticky.
