Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies – classic soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies that have a delicious chocolate Nutella center!
I first discovered what Nutella was in high school and have been a huge fan every since. There are plenty of Nutella recipes on this site, and even your own Homemade Nutella….which is way better than the store bought stuff.
This cookie recipe has been on the blog for about 10 years, so it was time it was brought up to date with better instructions, so you could confidently make them on your own!
I used my favorite Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies for the base of this recipe, because they come out thick, chewy, and delicious every time. But if you have a favorite, you can definitely use that. You can even use store bought dough if you really wanted to save some time.
What You’ll Need
- Butter
- White Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- Egg
- Vanilla Extract
- All-Purpose Flour
- Cornstarch
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Chocolate Chips
- Nutella
The cornstarch is the secret ingredient that helps the cookies stay soft and chewy even after they cool!
How To Make Nutella Stuffed Cookies
Be sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the FULL measurements and instructions
- The first thing to do is scoop balls of Nutella onto a baking sheet to freeze. This helps it not just disappear into the cookie and makes the cookies way easier to fill. You need about 2 teaspoons of Nutella per little ball. Freeze for about 1 hour.
- Make the cookie dough by beating the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Then beat in the egg and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mix until they are just incorporated. Finally fold in the chocolate chips.
- You want to chill the cookie dough. This is easiest to work with by scooping 2 tablespoons of dough (I use my medium cookie scoop) onto a baking sheet or plate, and place them in the fridge for 30 minutes. The dough is just much easier to scoop at room temperature than after you chill it.
- After everything is nice and cold, flatten a ball of dough, place a ball of Nutella in the center and fold up the dough and roll into a ball to fully enclose the chocolate.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes until the edges of the cookies are golden and the tops are set and appear dry.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Storage
Just like any cookies, these are best stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Freezing – you can freeze the already baked cookies for up to 3 months. Or you can freeze the balls of dough (after they are filled) for up to 3 months, and then just bake when you want them.
If you are baking frozen dough, I like to take out the balls of dough and let them sit on the counter while the oven preheats. Then just add about 1 minute to the baking time. But then you can have fresh warm cookies on demand any night of the week!
