Ingredients
- 12 teaspoon Nutella
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature (1 stick)
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups oat flour To make oat flour, place about 1.5 cups of old-fashioned oats into a food processor and pulse well until turning into fine flour. Make sure to use only 1 ½ cups of oat flour exactly in the recipe. Measure and level well!
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder NATURAL, not Dutch-Porcessed
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup milk or bittersweet chocolate chips (OPTIONAL) melted (follow the instructions on the package)
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 12 teaspoons of Nutella onto the lined baking sheet and then freeze for about 30 minutes or until firm.
- Meanwhile, line two baking sheets with parchment paper and reserve. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.
- In a large bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or a hand mixer), beat the butter and the sugars on medium speed until combined. Add the egg and the vanilla extract, beating for one minute or so until smooth.
- Add the oat flour. Sift the cocoa powder and baking soda into the beaten mixture and mix until just combined. The dough will be firm!
- Test to see whether the dough is not too sticky by scooping a tablespoon of the dough and flattening it into a disc with the palm of your hand. If sticky, cover the dough and chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes. But it is still too sticky after chilling, "flour" your hands with a little cocoa powder.
- Remove the Nutella from the freezer. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the cookie dough and flatten it into a disc. Place the frozen Nutella on the flattened dough, wrap it around the Nutella, and roll it into a ball.
- The Nutella must be completely wrapped by the cookie dough; otherwise, it will come out while the cookies are baking and make a mess.
- Place the Nutella stuffed cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes or until firm enough to handle.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool slightly. Drizzle melted chocolate on top (or dust cocoa powder or powdered sugar instead) and serve these Nutella-filled cookies with milk, hot chocolate, or ice cream.
Notes
- Can I make these Nutella Stuffed Cookies in advance?
- Yes, you can! But it’s best to roll the cookies into balls when the Nutella is frozen and the cookie dough is soft. The best way is to stuff the cookie dough with the frozen Nutella, roll it into balls, and place them in the fridge or freezer until you are ready to bake.
- How do I store these easy Nutella cookies?
- Store them in a sealed bag or airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature.
- Can I freeze them?
- They freeze well! Individually wrap them in parchment paper or aluminum foil (without the chocolate drizzle) and then freeze for up to 2 months.
- To thaw the baked Nutella cookies, simply put them over the counter and let them sit there until they come to room temp.
