Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 10 tbsp (slightly heaped) Nutella or other chocolate-nut spread
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped 70% dark chocolate
Cookie Dough
- 1 1/3 cups plain flour / all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda (bi-carbonate soda)
- 1/4 tsp cooking salt or kosher salt
- 120g / 8 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 1 cm / 1/2″ cubes, fridge cold
- 2/3 cup tightly packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp honey or corn syrup
- 1 large egg (55g / 2 oz), at room temperature
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, whisk together the plain flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate mixing bowl, cream the cold unsalted butter cubes with brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract, honey, and the room temperature egg, mixing thoroughly to combine.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix until a soft cookie dough forms but do not overmix.
- Shape the Cookies: Take a portion of dough and flatten it slightly. Place about 1 tsp of Nutella and a few dark chocolate chips in the center. Carefully fold the dough over the filling, sealing it inside and shaping it into a ball. Repeat this process until all dough and filling are used.
- Chill the Dough: Place the stuffed dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to help them hold their shape during baking.
- Preheat and Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cookies on the middle rack for approximately 12 minutes or until the edges turn golden and crispy while the center remains soft.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. For the best experience, eat the cookies warm, about 15 minutes after coming out of the oven, to enjoy the molten Nutella center.
