Ingredients for Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Essential Ingredients

• 2 sticks (16 Tbsp.) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs, at room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips (or 1.5 cups of regular or mini)
• 3/4 cup toasted chopped pecans, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup Nutella
• 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles (optional)

Optional Ingredients

• Rainbow sprinkles for decoration
• Biscoff Cookie Butter or Peanut Butter and Fluff as a Nutella substitute

Method

Preparing the Nutella Filling

Start by scooping Nutella into small balls and freeze them for at least 45 minutes. This step ensures your cookies have a delightful molten center!

Making the Cookie Dough

In a mixer, cream the butter and both sugars on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low until fully incorporated, then blend in the vanilla extract.

Chilling the Dough

In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these to the wet mixture, mixing on low to medium speed. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips and cooled pecans by hand. Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Assembling the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Flatten a scoop of cookie dough into a disc, place a frozen Nutella ball in the center, and cover it with another disc. Seal the edges to create a perfect little package filled with melting goodness.

Baking the Cookies

Place the assembled cookies on a lined baking sheet and sprinkle with optional rainbow sprinkles. Bake for about 12 minutes, rotating halfway through for even baking. The cookies will spread, so be sure to leave space between them.

Cooling and Storing

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 15-20 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely for an additional 15-30 minutes. Store your delicious treats in an airtight container at room temperature for the best texture.
