🛒 Ingredients (Yields 12 cookies)

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
  

• ¼ teaspoon salt
  
  

• ½ teaspoon baking soda
  
  

• ¼ cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  
  

• ¾ cup white sugar
  
  

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  
  

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
  

• ½ cup chocolate chips
  
  

• ¼ cup Nutella (chocolate-hazelnut spread)
  
  

• ¼ cup milk (optional, to adjust dough consistency)
  
  

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare Nutella filling: Drop 12 heaping teaspoons of Nutella onto parchment paper, place on a plate or tray, and freeze for about 1 hour until solid.
   
   

2. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   
   

3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
   
   

4. Cream wet ingredients: In another large bowl, beat together the white sugar, brown sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
   
   

5. Make the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. If the dough feels too dry or crumbly, mix in a tablespoon or two of milk to soften.
   
   

6. Shape cookies: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Flatten each piece into a disc. Remove the Nutella from the freezer, place one frozen Nutella dollop in the center of each disc, then fold the dough around it to seal completely. Roll gently into a ball.
   
   

7. Bake: Place cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
   
   

8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (if you can wait that long!).
