Optional Toppings

Instructions

Prepare Nutella Filling

  1. Line a small tray or plate with parchment paper.
  2. Scoop 6 individual tablespoons of Nutella onto the prepared tray.
  3. Place the tray in the freezer for 20–30 minutes, or until the Nutella portions are firm enough to handle.

Cookie Dough

  1. Cut the refrigerated salted butter into small cubes.
  2. Add the butter, powdered white sugar, and packed brown sugar to a mixing bowl.
  3. Beat the ingredients until thoroughly combined.
  4. Add the room-temperature egg and vanilla essence.
  5. Mix until the wet ingredients are smooth and evenly incorporated.
  6. Sift the all-purpose flour and baking soda into the bowl.
  7. Mix gently until a soft cookie dough forms.
  8. Fold in the chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Fill the Cookies

  1. Divide the cookie dough into portions weighing approximately 78–80g each.
  2. Flatten one portion of dough in the palm of your hand.
  3. Place one frozen Nutella portion in the center.
  4. Wrap the dough completely around the Nutella filling.
  5. Pinch the edges together firmly to seal the filling inside.
  6. Roll the dough gently into a smooth ball.
  7. Repeat with the remaining dough and Nutella portions.
  8. Place the assembled cookie dough balls on a tray.
  9. Freeze the cookie dough balls for at least 30 minutes to help prevent excessive spreading during baking.

Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

  2. Use the top and bottom heating elements if your oven has this setting.
  3. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Bake the Cookies

  1. Arrange the frozen cookie dough balls on the prepared baking tray.
  2. Leave plenty of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
  3. Add a few extra chocolate chunks on top of each dough ball, if desired.
  4. Place the tray in the preheated oven.
  5. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers remain slightly soft.
  6. Check the cookies as oven temperatures can vary, and adjust the baking time if necessary.

Rest the Cookies

  1. Let the cookies rest on the tray for 20 minutes at room temperature.

Serve and Enjoy

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Can I use another filling instead of Nutella?

Yes. You can use thick chocolate ganache or place a compact cluster of 10–12 chocolate chips or chunks in the center of each cookie.

Why should I freeze the cookie dough balls?

Freezing helps the dough hold its shape during baking, reducing excessive spreading and helping create thick, bakery-style cookies.

How do I know when the cookies are ready?

The edges should be golden brown while the centers remain slightly soft. The cookies will continue to set as they rest on the baking tray.

Can I prepare the dough in advance?

Yes. You can assemble the filled cookie dough balls ahead of time and freeze them until you are ready to bake. Baking time may need slight adjustment if the dough balls are frozen solid.

What is the best way to serve these cookies?

Serve them slightly warm, when the chocolate chunks are soft and the Nutella center is creamy. Vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce makes a delicious addition.
