How to Make Center-Filled Nutella Cookies
1. Start by Freezing the Nutella
Pipe or spoon small portions of Nutella onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for at least 30 minutes—this helps keep the center gooey while the cookie bakes.
2. Make the Dough Base
Melt the butter gently and mix in the sugar. Whisk well until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Add the melted dark chocolate and fresh cream. Keep whisking until fully combined and silky.
3. Add the Dry Ingredients
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture to form a soft, chocolatey dough.
4. Chill the Dough
Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps make it easier to handle and enhances the cookie texture.
5. Shape and Fill
Scoop small portions of the dough and flatten them slightly. Place a frozen Nutella dollop in the center, wrap the dough around it, and roll into a smooth ball.
6. Bake to Perfection
Place the cookie balls on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 9 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should stay soft.
7. Cool Slightly & Enjoy
Let the cookies cool for just a couple of minutes before diving in. That warm, gooey Nutella center is absolutely heavenly!
