Nutella stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

I can’t believe it took me this long to make these cookies. I’ve made so many variations of nutella cookies and stuffed chocolate chip cookies. But it wasn’t until now that I thought to make a chocolate chip cookie stuffed with nutella filling.

I’ve pretty much made every variation possible leading up to these cookies. I’ve made nutella swirl chocolate chip cookies, “nutella chip” cookies, nutella lava chocolate cookies. When I told FH about this idea his reaction was “haven’t you done this already?”

When I made nutella chocolate chip cookies previously, one of the problems I had was that the nutella flavor got lost in the cookies. Not with these cookies since they are stuffed with pure nutella filling.

I absolutely loved the nutella lava cookies I made a few months back. This cookie combines two great loves: lava cookies and chocolate chip cookies.

Nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookies

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup nutella

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, continue to beat until well combined.

2. Place flour and baking soda into a bowl; mix to combine then add slowly to wet ingredients along with the chocolate chips.

3. Scoop a large spoonful of dough and flatten it into the palm of your hand. Add in some nutella into the middle, about 1-2 tsp. Then fold cookie dough back up so that it seals and covers the nutella entirely.

4. Bake for about 10-14 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

These look incredible! I am such a nutella fan. I’ve had great success making nutella frosting and cookies before but I love the idea of having it for filling!

  I’m a huge Nutella fan too. I really liked having the Nutella center in these cakes.

Hey
Just found your awesome blog, I’m also a San Diego blogger… just not as talented in the baking department as you .
I’m trying to make these cookies.. and so far I’ve made two batches and they all turn out flat, not thick and “fluffy” like yours? I closely followed the recipe :-/ Hmm any possible suggestions? I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong

Thanks for so many inspiring recipes and photos

  Hmm.. do you soften your butter when making the recipe? Sometimes I find that softened butter makes the cookies flatter. The butter I use is still pretty solid when I mix it in. You can also try putting the cookies in the fridge before you bake them and the chilled dough won’t flatten as quickly. Also maybe the baking pan can sometimes affect them too.

This looks sooo yummy! How many cookies does each batch make, if you remember?

  I remember I made about 12 cookies.

Hi, I am thinking about making these, but I was wondering how you would fold the cookie over the nutella neatly? It looks pretty hard to make that neat pocket and not have a mutated cookie ?

  I usually spread out the dough a lot, place some nutella in the middle, and then fold the dough over it on top. If you use a lot of dough, you should be able to do it without making a mess. The cookies I made were pretty big

This is better than Nutella because it has a lot less sugar: http://www.peertrainer.com/LoungeCommunityThread.aspx?ForumID=1&ThreadID=174803

hi.. i made this cookies yesterday…it was delicious… but the nutella kinda dried inside…i dunno why… do u think i should increase it inside? but if i did it will be hard to seal the cookie… any tips? thanks

  Hmm, I’ve never had the Nutella be dry inside. It does sound like you need more Nutella. You can flatten out your cookie dough more and increase the Nutella. I’ve found that you can really stuff a lot even into a small cookie. it’s just a matter of how you shape the dough before you stuff it.

I had never had Nutella before – bought it very cheap on sale and decided to try this recipe. Oh. Snap. So incredible. My problem is – how do I stop eating them!?!? Oh yeah, run out of batter! Thanks for sharing!

I just made these cookies and I must say they are absolutely incredible!! Took me a while to make with adding the nutella and folding it back over, but it was definitely worth it!!

  So glad you liked it! Yeah it takes a while at first but after you get some practice in you should be able to do it much faster.

I just made these cookies and it’s quite nice. But I don’t know why the nutella inside actually hardened. I thought it would melt. What could have possibly went wrong?
- Kirbie replied: — June 10th, 2012 @ 9:33 am
  
  Hi Rosy. I’ve never had the experience of Nutella hardening, so I don’t know what to tell you. Sorry!

I just made these and they are amazing! It made a batch of 25 cookies and part way through I ran out of nutella so I substituted peanut butter. Both came out amazing! Eating one of these is like eating a meal!! Thanks for the recipe!
