Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (150 g) Nutella

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping if desired.
  7. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of Nutella onto plastic wrap, wrap tightly, and freeze for 10-15 minutes until firm but pliable.
  8. Scoop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten into a disc. Place one Nutella ball in the center, fold dough around it, sealing completely, then roll into a smooth ball. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and Nutella.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers still look soft. Cookies will firm up as they cool.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Freezing Nutella balls before stuffing helps prevent melting and leaking during baking. Do not overmix dough after adding flour to keep cookies tender. Seal dough completely around Nutella to avoid leaks. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even cooking. Cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
