Nutella Stuffed Cookies – Soft, Gooey & Irresistible Chocolate-Filled Treat 🍪


If there’s one dessert that can instantly fix your mood, it’s warm, soft cookies with a molten Nutella center. These Nutella Stuffed Cookies are crispy on the edges, soft in the middle, and filled with a rich chocolate-hazelnut surprise that melts as soon as you bite in.

They’re the kind of bakery-style cookies you’d expect from a café—but you can easily make them at home in under 30 minutes.

Perfect for late-night cravings, tea-time snacks, or just when you want something sweet and comforting.


Why These Cookies Are So Addictive

What makes these cookies special is the contrast:

  • Slightly crispy outer shell
  • Soft, gooey center
  • Warm melted Nutella filling
  • Rich buttery cookie dough

Every bite feels like a surprise because the Nutella stays hidden until you break into it.


Ingredients

For Cookie Dough:

  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional but recommended)

For Filling:

  • Nutella (frozen into small scoops or spooned dollops)

How to Make Nutella Stuffed Cookies

Step 1: Prepare Nutella Centers

Scoop small portions of Nutella onto a tray and freeze them for 20–30 minutes. This helps them stay inside the cookie while baking.

Step 2: Make Cookie Dough

In a bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, and mix again.

Now add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. You can fold in chocolate chips for extra richness.

Step 3: Stuff the Cookies

Take a small portion of dough, flatten it, place frozen Nutella in the center, and seal it completely with more dough. Roll into a smooth ball.

Step 4: Bake

Place cookies on a lined baking tray and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 10–12 minutes or until edges turn golden.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

Let them cool for a few minutes (if you can wait 😭), then break one open to see the melted Nutella center.


Pro Tips for Perfect Cookies

  • Always freeze Nutella before stuffing
  • Don’t overbake—cookies should stay soft
  • Chill dough if it feels too sticky
  • Add extra chocolate chips for a richer bite
  • Serve warm for the best gooey texture

Serving Ideas

These cookies taste amazing on their own, but you can level them up with:

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream
  • A drizzle of melted chocolate
  • A glass of cold milk
  • Coffee or cappuccino pairing
