Step 1

Start by measuring ¾ cup Nutella, then scoop it into 1 tablespoon portions. This exact quantity ensures a rich, gooey centre without overpowering the cookie dough. Place each scoop onto a parchment-lined baking tray, spacing them slightly apart for easy handling.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, add 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt. These dry ingredients form the foundation of a thick, bakery-style cookie dough with the perfect balance of structure and softness.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, add ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled, ¾ cup brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar. Whisk until the mixture looks smooth, glossy, and well blended.

Step 4

Slowly add the prepared dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Use the full flour blend from earlier (2 ¼ cups flour, baking soda, and salt) and avoid overmixing to keep the dough soft and tender.

Step 5

Scoop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and gently flatten it in your palm. Place 1 frozen tablespoon of Nutella in the centre, then top with an additional 1 tablespoon of dough.

Step 6

After stuffing, place the Nutella-filled cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes before baking. Chilling is a changer; it firms the dough, prevents excessive spreading, and enhances flavour development.
