Bake incredibly soft cookies with a gooey Nutella center. This easy recipe delivers rich chocolate-hazelnut flavor in every bite, perfect for chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Nutella

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  7. Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie dough ball.
  8. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of Nutella into each indentation.
  9. Gently spread the cookie dough around the Nutella to cover it completely, forming a ball.
  10. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra gooeyness, you can chill the Nutella in the freezer for about 15 minutes before stuffing the cookies.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed the day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • You can also swirl Nutella into the cookie dough for a marbled effect instead of stuffing them.
