How to make Nutella stuffed cookies:

• Step 1. Brown the butter. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once the butter is melted, bring the butter to a low boil. Stir with a wooden spoon and continue to cook the butter over medium heat.

  Watch the butter closely, stirring frequently, until the butter becomes an amber color. Then pour the mixture in a large heatproof bowl and set aside for the butter to cool for 25-30 minutes.

Freeze the Nutella.

• Step 2. Prepare the Nutella. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. In 2 teaspoon size portions, drop 24 scoops of Nutella onto the baking sheet. Place the sheet in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.

• Step 3. Make the cookie dough. Stir the sugars into the cooled browned butter with a wooden spoon or spatula until combined. Then add in the eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch and salt.

• Step 4. Slowly add the flour. Then gradually stir in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.

• Step 5. Gently fold in the chocolate. Fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough. Do not use a stand mixer or hand mixer for this step. They need to gently be folded in as you add the flour mixture.

• Step 6. Refrigerate the dough. Chill the cookie dough for 15-20 minutes.

• Step 7. Preheat the oven. Set the oven to 375 degrees F.

• Step 8. Form the dough into balls. Scoop the cookie dough out into approximately 3 tablespoons size cookie balls. Gently make a well into each of the cookie dough balls.

• Step 9. Add the frozen Nutella. Place a frozen piece of the Nutella into the cookie dough and form the dough around the Nutella.

• Step 10. Line the baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges of the cookies are slightly golden brown.

• Step 11. Allow the cookies to sit on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then move them to cooling racks to cool completely.

• Step 12. Serve these tasty cookies. Then the cookies are ready to serve and enjoy!

How to store Nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookies:

Store the leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Store a piece of bread in the container with the cookies to keep them soft.

How to freeze:

These delicious cookies can actually be frozen so you can enjoy them anytime the craving hits. There are 2 options.

You can freeze the cookies after baked. Just place the cookies into a freezer safe container or bag. I recommend placing wax paper in between the cookies to keep them from sticking.

They can be frozen and taken out to enjoy when you want a sweet treat. It is easiest to allow them to thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

The second option involves freezing the dough. Form the cookies as normal but do not bake them. Flash freeze the cookies by placing on a baking sheet and freezing for 1 to 2 hours.

Then transfer the cookies to a freezer container. The dough can be frozen up to 3 months and then baked as normal. You will need to add a couple extra minutes to the baking time if frozen.

Learn how to freeze cookie dough to enjoy a treat any day of the week.

Tips for Chocolate Chip Nutella Stuffed Cookies:

• Freeze the Nutella. This is the key to making the cookies turn out so perfect. It will be far too soft if the Nutella isn’t frozen prior to being baked. Also, do this step before making the cookie dough so you won’t have to wait.
• Allow the cookies to set. The cookies will be very fragile once baked. Allow them to sit for 5 minutes on the baking sheet and then move to a cooling rack. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
• Work fast. The nutella will become warm the more it is handled. Work fast to stuff the cookies and prepare them to be baked.

Substitutions and Additions

• Sea Salt. Sprinkle sea salt on top of the cookies for a sweet and salty taste. Make sure to do this as soon as they come out of the oven so it sticks to the cookies.
• Sugar cookies. Substitute sugar cookie dough instead of chocolate chip in this recipe for a new flavor twist.

This is such a decadent treat.

This cookie recipe is so easy to make and really delicious. Everyone will be hooked once you make Nutella Stuffed Cookies. The rich combination of chocolate chips and Nutella make an unforgettable cookie.

Serve the cookies with a cold glass of milk for a great treat. This is definitely a recipe that everyone will love.
