Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 cup (220g) brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (90g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Filling

1 jar (13 oz) Nutella or any hazelnut spread

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and a perfect chewy texture in your cookies.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, incorporating air for a tender cookie texture.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to combine all wet ingredients.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid tough cookies.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter to distribute chocolate bursts throughout the cookies.
Prepare Nutella Centers: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, flatten a small amount of dough in your palm, place about 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center, then fold the dough around it, sealing completely. Roll into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center, as they will continue to set while cooling.
Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm for a gooey, indulgent experience.

Notes

You can substitute butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
Use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar for a healthier alternative.
Dark chocolate chips can be used to intensify the chocolate flavor.
It’s important not to overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to prevent tough cookies.
Cookies will firm up as they cool, so remove them a little underbaked for the best texture.
