Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (165g) packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (270g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- ½ cup (150g) Nutella
- About 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons (30g) of dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place about 1 tablespoon (15g) of Nutella in the center.
- Carefully fold the dough around the Nutella, sealing it completely to form a ball.
- Place the stuffed dough balls 2 inches (5cm) apart on the baking sheet.
- Lightly sprinkle each cookie with flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden but the center is still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough for 15 minutes before shaping to prevent Nutella from leaking. Use flaky sea salt like Maldon or fleur de sel for best flavor. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender. Watch baking time closely to avoid drying out cookies.
