Description
Indulgent cookies filled with a rich Nutella dough and a surprise Ferrero Rocher center, perfect for holiday gifting and special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (about 120 g)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (about 110 g)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (about 100 g)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (about 56–57 g)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 Ferrero Rocher chocolates (one per cookie)
- 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts (optional; about 60 g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the Nutella, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Fold in the chopped hazelnuts if using. If the dough is too sticky, chill for 10–15 minutes.
- Scoop a tablespoon of dough and wrap it around a Ferrero Rocher chocolate, sealing it completely. Place them seam-side down on the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra crunch, roll cookie balls in additional chopped hazelnuts before baking. For a gluten-free version, substitute a gluten-free flour blend.
