How to Make It
Note: This is an overview. See the recipe card below for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
1. Prepare the Dough
Start by creaming together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla, mixing until just combined. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients to form a soft, pliable dough.
2. Stuff with Nutella
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and flatten them slightly. Place a teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each, then fold the dough around it, sealing it completely. Roll into smooth balls.
3. Chill the Dough
Pop the dough balls in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This step is crucial—it prevents the cookies from spreading too much and keeps the Nutella from oozing out during baking.
4. Bake to Perfection
Arrange the chilled dough balls on a baking sheet, leaving enough space for them to spread. Bake until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Let them cool slightly before diving in—trust me, the wait is worth it!
Pro Tips
- Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized dough balls.
- Freeze the Nutella for 10-15 minutes before stuffing to make it easier to handle.
- Don’t overbake! The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 2 months—bake straight from frozen, adding a minute or two to the baking time.
