Pro Tips and Timesaver Shortcuts

  • Use softened butter for easy blending. 
  • If you have hot hands, using a pair of gloves may work best to keep the Nutella from melting as you stuff the cookies.
  • For maximum gooeyness, slightly under bake the cookies.
  • Cookies can be warmed in the microwave to melt the center again.

Variations, Notes, and Substitutions

  • Be sure to freeze the dollops until they are firm so you can work with them.
  • You can make the Nutella dollops the day prior.

Serving and Storage Suggestions

  • Serve with a ice cream for a delicious dessert.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container. 
  • Cookies can be saved and stored in an airtight container for 3 days. To keep them fresher longer, add a piece of bread to the container and switch it out daily for maximum softness.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
