Equipment

1 Baking sheet

Ingredients

14 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg(s) large
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips + some for the top
12 teaspoons Nutella

Instructions

Line a small baking tray or plate with baking or parchment paper. Dollop 12 teaspoons of Nutella on the tray, ensuring they are an inch or two apart. Pop them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
With an electric hand mixer, whip room-temperature butter with both sugars for a few minutes. Make sure the butter isn’t warm or too soft.
Mix in the egg and vanilla until just combined.
Sift flour, salt, and baking soda together, then fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly combined.
Prepare two baking pans with parchment paper.
Use a medium or large cookie scoop to add one scoop per cookie onto the baking pan. Press down with the bottom of the cookie scooper, making the center flat to place the Nutella. The diameter of the cookie dough should be bigger than the diameter of the frozen Nutella filling.
Take one frozen Nutella filling and place it on top of the cookie dough. Take another scoop of cookie dough and gently but firmly seal the filling inside with the bottom piece of cookie dough, encasing it in the dough (forming a ball).
Continue with the rest of the dough and Nutella until you have your 12 filled cookies. Let them rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350° F while the cookies are resting. Then bake for about 15 - 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven to cool.
