But it’s best to roll the cookie dough into balls when the Nutella is frozen and the cookie dough is soft. So roll them up and place them in the fridge or freezer until you are ready to bake. My Nutella centre firmed up as it cooled. Is that right? Yes. When your cookies come out of the oven, the Nutella will be very warm and extra gooey.
These Nutella Stuffed Cookies won’t be as thick as ones stuffed with chocolate chunks (big, chunky mix in’s also helps to stop spreading). But they are just as delicious. Instead we use just a few chocolate chips – but not too many – because we want the cookie dough to still be pliable.
Sprinkle cookies with flaky sea salt and bake until puffed, 15 minutes. Let cool on pan 5 minutes before serving. You can also FREEZE disks of Nutella and use them to stuff pancakes. GET YOURS NOW!
