Why Nutella-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies from scratch
Today’s recipe for Nutella-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies is super fabulous!
They’re super chewy, super chocolatey, buttery chocolate chip cookies made from scratch. These Nutella-Stuffed Cookies are more of a special treat than just a good old chocolate chip cookie.
The Nutella filling in these Chocolate Chip Cookies isn’t overpowering . However you can overstuff the cookie and indulge once in a while.
The filling adds that extra melting sweet chocolate feel. The cookie dough has the perfect homestyle feel. Not too puffy, nor too flat and it’s very very chewy.
How to make Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
The chocolate chip cookie dough is a breeze to make. You’ll need to beat the softened butter with sugars with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes. After that, add an egg and then quickly beat in the flour, baking soda and baking powder.
The chocolate chips (I use chocolate chunks from a chocolate bar) go right in and get folded in with a spatula. I love using a mix of dark and milk chocolate bits here. This adds a unique feel to the cookie when every bite is chocolate-y in a different way.
And by adding Nutella to the center of these homemade chocolate chip cookies, the chocolate experience is elevated to a whole other level!
Once the chocolate chip cookie dough is ready, just take a tablespoon-full. Now flatten the dough in the palm of your hand, then take a teaspoon of Nutella (more or less—no judging again) and place it in the center. Now you’ll fold the cookie dough over the Nutella and roll it gently with both your hands.
At this point, you can flatten the Chocolate Chip Cookie a bit and they’re ready for chilling or baking. Baking these Nutella-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies right away will make them a little flatter than if the dough was chilled for an hour prior to baking.
Ok chocolate chip cookie lovers, meet your match. Nutella-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are going to blow your mind! Try them once, and never go back!
These Chocolate Chip Cookies aren’t your light healthy cookies. They probably won’t really help you diet. But they happen to be the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever!
Just one of these homemade Chocolate Chips Cookies is enough to take you to a happy place, so don’t miss out on them! Please!
We made these Nutella-Stuffed Cookies last weekend again, we had unexpected gorgeous weather and the girls had a playdate at the park.
All the tiny hands got messy making these Nutella-Stuffed Cookies, eating them, photographing them and sharing them with friends at the park. Actually, even the seagulls at the park had their share of those Chocolate Chip Cookies! Who knew they loved chocolate this much!
As you can see my tiny helping hands are anything but helpful when it comes to taking photos of their favorite Cookies!

The chocolate chip cookies to die for! What a great way to make these yummies! They will definitely be a hit in my house!
hahahah I agree!
These look like the perfect crispy on the outside soft and chewy in the middle cookies. I would love to break one of these in half and see all that delicious nutella!
Nutella makes everything better!
Oh my God! This sounds dangerous. And delicious. But, more dangerous. (To my waistline!) That is why I have just printed this recipe, because life is too short to be afraid of a little danger. 🙂
hahahah love your motto!
The sinful cookie at its best. So trying this with the kids over the weekend.
It’s divine too!
What is not to love in this cookie? Chunks of chocolate and nutella is a dessert lovers dream. I personally love using chocolate chunks as well instead of chocolate chips. That is a good mouthful of chocolate goodness.
So true Sandhya!
