I could not stop eating these soft chocolatey cookies filled with pockets of Nutella right in the middle. Oh my gosh. So good!
Ingredients are straight up basic but these cookies are bursting with chocolate flavor.
Dreamy!
And a delicious addition mixed in the batter.
Now let’s double the fun with chocolate morsels.
Chill the dough and prepare more Nutella to stuff inside.
Pipe very thick lines on wax paper using remaining Nutella (that you didn’t already eat by the spoonful) and freeze for about 30 minutes.
When firm, slice into roughly 1-inch sections.
Scoop up some dough, place a nutella piece on top and then spoon more cookie dough on top. Shape and seal the edges and then place on a wax paper covered baking sheet.
Finally press more morsels on the top and sides and bake.
Pressing morsels on top before baking helps them look much more glamourous.
Make sure to eat some while still warm to get all that melt-in-your-mouth that gooey goodness.
Yield: 18 large cookies
Double Chocolate Nutella Cookies
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Additional Time30 minutes
Total Time1 hour
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
Nutella
Instructions
Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside.
In a stand mixer, cream butter, Nutella and both sugars until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla to butter mixture and mix until incorporated.
Slowly add flour mixture, mixing each until combined. Scrape down sides of bowl and mix again just until incorporated.
Stir in 1 cup of the chocolate morsels, reserving the rest and place dough in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes.
Spoon leftover Nutella into a large resealable plastic bag and snip off a corner of one end. Pipe thick lines of Nutella on a wax paper covered baking sheet and place in the freezer for 30 minutes while the cookie dough chills. When very firm, slice into 1-inch sections.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
When dough is chilled, scoop dough using a 1-1/2 inch scoop and place a chilled piece of Nutella in the center (note: keep nutella pieces in freezer as you assemble so they stay firm.) Spoon more dough and place on top. Shape into a ball and seal edges. Place on baking sheet 2-3 inches apart.
When done, press remaining morsels on the tops and sides of cookie dough balls and bake for 12-14 minutes. Cool for about 10 minutes.
Hi Angie – looks yummy ? and can’t wait to make but had a question first…..what size container of Nutella did you use? Want to make sure my leftover for freezing the filling is the right amount.
Thanks!
NUTELLA – LOVE! Oh my gosh, what a great idea to chill it like that (a new way to eat my nutella – nutella candy!). Mm, and the ooey-gooeyness of the cookie. YUM! Brilliant! :D Can’t wait to try this one!

Hi Jennifer – Pretty sure I used the 13 oz size. Either way that should be plenty to work with. Hope you love them.

Yes, totally makes it easier to handle. Keep them in the freezer as you assemble because they do warm up quickly.
Totally in love with chocolate and this is my dream! Amazing recipe!
OMG heaven :D I wonder if that would work with other spreads for the non Nutella fans.
I think so. Biscoff would be fun to try.
Taking chocolate decadence to a new level!
Can’t help but wonder what size container of Nutella you bought. It would give me an idea of how much to pipe for filling. Thanks!
Hi Diane – Go with the 13 oz jar.. I piped two rows on a small cookie sheet that were about 3/4 inch X 10 inches.
So yummy!
