Nutella Stuffed Brown Sugar Cookies
A chewy brown sugar cookie stuffed with molten gooey Nutella in every bite. It doesn’t get any better then this.
So if you haven’t guessed it by now cookies are an all time favourite of mine to eat and bake. I try not to eat them all in one sitting though (LOL), so I take one or two tested out the flavour and overall texture and give the rest away. Trust me I need to send them off!
I often do 5-6 bakes a week and of course I have to taste test them and well it can be tough to swallow (if you can imagine) all these sweets after awhile. Well these were no different. These Nutella stuffed cookies were decadent and chewy and gooey and oh so amazing fresh out of the oven. I mean is there anything more luscious then molten Nutella coming out of a cookie; well maybe coming out of a big cookie pie YUM!
These may seem complex but really they are anything but. The only part is you have to wait for the Nutella to freeze up before stuffing inside the cookie, but the cookie base is quite simple.
I did a brown sugar cookie base this time which makes them chewy and once stuffed with Nutella I rolled them in granulated sugar just to make them appealing to the eye.
What you’ll need to make these cookies?
These stuffed cookies come together with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.
- Butter-unsalted and melted butter is used here. You can use salted butter just omit the salt from recipe.
- Brown Sugar- only brown sugar here for a chewy cookie
- Egg- just one large egg room temp.
- Vanilla- for flavouring.
- Baking Powder and Baking Soda- your leavening agents.
- Salt- to offset sweet.
- All Purpose Flour- measure by spooning and levelling it off, you don’t want to pack it in it makes for a dense cookie.
- Nutella- 12, 1 tablespoon dollops place on baking sheets and then frozen for 20 mins.
- Granulated Sugar- this is optional to roll your cookie dough before baking.
These are by far an absolute treat, imagine making these and eating them, warm and gooey Nutella coming out of every bite. Heaven on a plate if I do say so myself.
Happy Baking,
XOXO Mari!
