Ok chocolate chip cookie lovers, meet your match—the nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookies are IN and they aren’t going back! And once you try them, you won’t go back either. They’re super chewy, super chocolate-y, buttery, perfectly sweet comforting cookies. They’re more of a treat than just a good old cookie. The nutella isn’t overpowering (unless you want it to be and over stuff the cookie), it adds that extra melting sweet chocolate feel, and the cookie dough has the perfect homestyle feel—so it’s not too puffy, nor too flat and it’s very very chewy.

So before we get started, let’s set the record straight—these nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookies aren’t your light healthy cookies, they won’t really help you diet, but they will help you be in the best chocolate chip cookies happy mood ever! Just one of these is enough to get you right there, so don’t skimp on them if you’re trying to diet, maybe make them and bake one everyday…ok I’m not a dietician, I’m a foodie and all I know is these are just SOOOOOO good for you cookies!

We made these nutella stuffed cookies last weekend, we had unexpected gorgeous weather and the girls had a playdate at the park. As they were getting impatient to leave, I thought I’ll get them busy and make cookies to take with us to the park, so all the tiny hands got messy happy making them, eating them, photographing them and sharing them with friends at the park..actually even the seagulls at the park had their share of those nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookies! Who knew they loved chocolate this much!

The dough is a breeze to make, you’ll need to beat the softened butter with sugars with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes, 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 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, the chocolate experience is elevated to a whole other level!

Once the dough is ready, you can take ball sizes (the size you want—no judging here) and flatten the dough on the palm of your hand, then take a teaspoon of nutella (more or less—no judging again) and place it in the center, then fold the cookie dough over the nutella and roll it gently with both your hands. At this point you can flatten the 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.

Out of the oven and go ahead now enjoy one or two or three no judging…:)

As you can see my tiny helping hands are anything but helpful when it comes to taking photos of their favorite cookies!
