Nutella-Stuffed Cookies with Sea Salt

Follow me!

I come from a big salt family. Growing up, the salt shaker was a staple on the family kitchen table every night, because you really never knew when you were going to need to add additional salt to your pasta, your salad, your soup (how can you not add salt to your soup?) or your bread. My sister even fancies a bowl of plain white rice with salt and I have to say, she’s definitely not wrong. I mean, I’m certainly not going to eat a bowl of plain white rice without salt. Who would, really?

Salt just hits the spot. Especially on a cookie. A cookie that is loaded with chocolate chips. A cookie that is stuffed with Nutella with more on top. The Nutella-Stuffed Cookie with Sea Salt is the perfect balance of sweet and salty, chewy and gooey and oozing with Nutella upon the first bite. The sea salt really makes this cookie, so make sure you have some of the flaky good stuff on hand. And while you’re at it, add some salt to something weird today (have you ever tried salt on a cucumber?). It will probably delight you.

Nutella-Stuffed Cookies with Sea Salt

Servings 15 large cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter room temperature 2 sticks
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips plus more for putting on top
  • 1 cup Nutella divided
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F and grease cookie sheets with baking spray or line with baking mats.
  2. Use a tablespoon to measure out 15 globs of Nutella onto a piece of parchment paper. Stick the Nutella on the parchment paper into the freezer while you make the cookie dough.
  3. With an electric mixer, beat together the butter and the sugars until creamy. Mix in the vanilla, and then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing slowly after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this mixture into the butter/sugar mixture slowly, stirring well. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Optional but recommended step: place the cookie dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes to chill the dough. This is helpful if your cookies tend to come out flat; they will not spread as much if the dough is chilled. It is also easier to handle chilled dough when stuffing the dough with the Nutella.
  6. Using 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out cookie dough and flatten each ball of dough. Place one frozen Nutella glob on top of the dough, and fold the dough up around the Nutella so that it is entirely covered. This recipe makes about 15 large cookies. Place only about 6 cookies on each baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10-14 minutes (until the edges look slightly crispy). Top the warm cookies with the extra chocolate chips. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the leftover Nutella. Drizzle the Nutella on top of the cookies and sprinkle with Flaky sea salt. Wait about 10-15 minutes for cookies to cool before eating. Enjoy!

    I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to Dimepiece Los Angeles celebrity streetwear brand? I am having trouble to proceed to the checkout on Dimepiecela site. I’ve read in Vanity Fair that the brand was bought out by a UK-based hedge fund in excess of $50m. I have just bought the Shatter Ceilings Yoga Duffel from Amazon and absolutely love it xox
