Servings: 28
Ingredients
Nutella Filling:
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons Nutella
For the Dough:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup sugar divided
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 1/4 cup Nutella
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
Instructions
Nutella Filling:
- Scoop into 2 teaspoon size balls (I use a small trigger scoop) onto a wax paper lined baking sheet and place in the freezer. (If making these a day ahead, place them in the fridge.)
For the Cookie Dough:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place ¼ cup granulated sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter with the remaining ½ cup granulated sugar and the brown sugar for 3 minutes.
- Mix in the Nutella and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and yolk, mix until thoroughly combined.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and mix on low until combined. Scrape sides as needed.
- Use a 1½ Tablespoon trigger cookie scoop to portion dough into 28 balls on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Remove the dough and flatten the balls between your hands. Place a ball of Nutella in the center and fold up the sides around it and then roll smooth.
- Roll the ball of dough in the ¼ cup sugar and place on a baking sheet 3 inches apart. (About 8 per baking sheet.) Using a spatula, lightly press each cookie down. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
