Nutella Filled Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. Basically the perfect cookie ever invented.
So I made some cookies.
They are totally worth every second it takes to makes them.
And also worth every calorie when you eat them.
Because it’s a cookie. Filled with Nutella.
Really, that is all.
Nutella Filled Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Let’s take a gander at the details.
First, we’ll need to talk about the cookies. They are chocolate chocolate chip.
AND I didn’t use cocoa powder.
I used melted chocolate.
Because yes.
So in total I used 4 CUPS OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS!
Sorry for yelling.
But really. 4 CUPS!
Melt 2 of those cups of chips over a double boiler or in the microwave…
Pour that into your batter.
You’ll need the remaining 2 cups of chocolate chips to mix in at the end, you know, when you usually add chocolate chips.
It’s seriously delicious cookie dough.
Then let it chill for at least 2 hours. Sorry ’bout that.
While you’re waiting you should fill up a zip-top bag with Nutella and pipe little swirls about the size of Hershey’s Kisses onto a lined baking sheet or cutting board.
Pop that in the freezer and let them chill too…for at least an hour.
When everything’s good and cold, or you’ve just lost all your patience, go ahead and make your cookies.
Form about a tablespoon of dough around one of the frozen Nutella pieces.
Form them into balls and bake for 7-8 minutes.Oh yum.
Did I mention these are totally worth it?Chilling your dough is super important in this recipe…make sure you don’t skip that step, or your cookies will be much flatter than mine!

I absolutely love the recipe. The cookies looked great n tasted delicious but mine came out to be very soft. A bit too soft for a cookie. Please help 🙂
I might say bake them a bit longer? Oven temps vary, so maybe just baking them a few more minutes will do the trick!
Woah woah! I must make these soon!!! 🙂
Hi! Wonderful cookies, but when I tried them out mine did NOT come out of the oven looking as gorgeous as yours, they looked more like melted out, flat, brown slabs with nutella popping out on top…. What did I do wrong?
Did you chill the dough?
Not after I put the nutella in them…. I’ll try popping them in the freezer for a bit next time 🙂
(And I have to make new ones soon, my boyfriend ate like twenty in a day <3)

You had me at Nutella! Need I say more?
These cookies look absolutely gorgeous. I love that they are completely loaded with chocolate. Cocoa powder just isn’t the same. I can’t wait to try these.
So much chocolate! So much nutella! So much YES.
I’ve made Nutella filled cookies before, and LOVED them. These look amazing. Bookmarked
