Nutella-filled Cookies | Recipe

These nutella-filled cookies are sooo indulgent. I love these with a cold glass of milk... The soft, buttery cookies burst with gooey Nutella once you bite into them - if you are a Nutella addict, you have to give this recipe a try! 

Yields 9 cookies

Ingredients

75g unsalted butter,

30g white sugar,

60g brown sugar,

1 tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste),

1egg,

115g plain/all-purpose flour,

1/4 tsp baking powder,

1/8th tsp baking soda,

9 tsp Nutella

Method

1. Spoon 9 teaspoons of Nutella onto a plate lined with parchment paper - you should end up with 9 blobs of Nutella. Place this into the freezer whilst you make the cookie dough.

2. Cream together the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.

3. Whisk in the egg until well combined.

4. Stir in the flour, baking powder and baking soda with a spatula until a soft dough forms.

5. Divide the dough into 9 portions (preferrably using a tablespoon-sized ice cream scoop) and place onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

6. Press each portion in the centre to create wells.

7. Remove the frozen Nutella from the freezer. Working quickly, place each piece of frozen Nutella into the wells of the cookie dough, one at a time.

8. Using a teaspoon, lift up the edges of the dough to seal the Nutella. Make sure they are sealed fully or else the Nutella will burst whilst baking.

9. Bake at 180c for 10 minutes. Do not bake for any longer as they will continue cooking on the baking sheet with the residual heat once removed from the oven.

10. Remove them from the oven and gently drop the baking sheet onto your work surface so that the cookies can have a chance to flatten and become chewier.

11. Let the cookies cool slightly and serve warm. If serving after, place these in the microwave for around 15 seconds for the Nutella to become warm and gooey again. Yum.
