Delight in the rich and gooey goodness of Nutella Stuffed Brownie Chunk Cookies. These chewy chocolate cookies are filled with creamy Nutella centers and studded with semi-sweet chocolate chips, creating the perfect balance of fudgy brownie texture and melty hazelnut chocolate. Quick to make and irresistibly indulgent, they make a perfect treat for any occasion.

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)

Substitutions

  • Butter: Can be replaced with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • Brown Sugar: Use coconut sugar for a healthier alternative.
  • Chocolate Chips: Dark chocolate chips can enhance the richness.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and the ideal chewy texture for your cookies.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, incorporating air for a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid tough cookies.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to distribute chocolate bursts within the dough.
  6. 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 and rolling it into a ball. Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. They should appear slightly underbaked in the center, as they will firm up while cooling.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm to enjoy the melty Nutella center at its best.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened, not melted, for optimal creaming with sugars.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to keep cookies tender.
  • The cookies will look slightly underbaked when removed from the oven; they will set on the baking sheet as they cool.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
  • For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and ensure Nutella alternative is appropriate.
