Ingredients (Makes 15 cookies):

  • 15 heaped teaspoons Nutella (frozen)
  • 115g unsalted butter (softened)
  • 175g light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 medium egg
  • 275g plain flour
  • ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour
  • 200g chocolate chips (finely chopped)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Nutella filling: Scoop 15 heaped teaspoons of Nutella onto a parchment-lined tray. Freeze until solid (this takes about 30-60 minutes). While the Nutella freezes, prepare the cookie dough.
  2. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C for fan ovens). Line 2-3 large baking trays with parchment paper.
  3. Make the cookie dough: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and light brown sugar until fluffy and well combined. Add the vanilla extract and the egg, and beat again until smooth and creamy.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, and cornflour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined.
  5. Add the chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
  6. Assemble the cookies: Scoop out portions of cookie dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon. Flatten each portion slightly into a disc shape. Place one frozen Nutella ball in the center of the disc, then wrap the dough around the Nutella, making sure it’s fully enclosed. Roll into a ball.
  7. Bake: Place the cookie dough balls on the lined baking trays, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges. For gooey cookies, stick to the lower end of the baking time.
  8. Cool and serve: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm for the best gooey Nutella center!

Tip: The longer you bake the cookies, the less gooey the Nutella will be in the center, so adjust the baking time based on your preference for gooeyness.

Enjoy your Nutella-stuffed chocolate chip cookies, perfect for indulging in the ultimate chocolatey treat!
