Equipment
- - Mixing bowls
- - Silicone baking mat or parchment paper
- - Baking sheet
- - Cookie scoop
- - Cooling rack
Ingredients
- - 1/2 cup Nutella
- - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- - 1 cup chocolate chips
- - 1 cup butter softened
- - 3/4 cup brown sugar
- - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- - 2 large eggs
- - 1 tsp vanilla extract
- - 1 tsp baking soda
- - 1/2 tsp salt
- - Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- **Prepare Nutella**: Spoon Nutella into small discs on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour.
- **Make Cookie Dough**: In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until well incorporated.
- **Combine Dry Ingredients**: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- **Shape Dough**: Use a cookie scoop to form dough balls. Make a small indent in the center of each ball and place a frozen Nutella disc inside. Seal the dough around the Nutella.
- **Chill Dough**: Refrigerate the dough for 1.5 hours to prevent spreading.
- **Bake**: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place dough balls on a lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-10 minutes until the edges are golden but the center remains soft.
- **Cool & Serve**: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while still warm. Enjoy!
