Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (90g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 jar (13 oz) Nutella or any hazelnut spread

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and achieve the perfect chewy cookie texture.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until the mixture is light, fluffy, and fully incorporated, which helps create airiness in the cookie dough.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth and uniform.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and tough cookies.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the cookie dough to distribute evenly, giving each cookie delicious bursts of melted chocolate.
  6. Prepare Nutella Centers: Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, take a small amount of dough and flatten it in your palm. Place about 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center, then carefully fold the dough around the Nutella, sealing it completely. Roll into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. They should appear slightly underbaked in the center, as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet after removal.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm for that ideal gooey Nutella center experience!

Notes

  • You can substitute butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • Use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar for a healthier alternative.
  • Dark chocolate chips can be used instead of semi-sweet for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to keep cookies tender.
  • Allow cookies to cool slightly before removing from the baking sheet to prevent breaking.
