Instructions

Scoop the Nutella into 6 small portions, roll into balls, and place them on a plate lined with baking paper. Freeze until completely firm. This step is essential so the Nutella doesn’t melt out while baking.

In a bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined.

Add the chocolate chips and fold them evenly into the dough.

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Flatten each portion in your hand, place a frozen Nutella ball in the center, and wrap the dough around it, sealing well so the Nutella is completely covered.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (top & bottom heat). Place the cookies on a lined baking tray with space between them. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are set and the centers still look soft.

Let the cookies rest for 5 minutes on the tray before moving them. The Nutella inside will be hot and gooey.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Dough Before Filling 🧊
Refrigerate the chocolate dough for at least 30 minutes before portioning, making it easier to wrap around the Nutella center and preventing the filling from leaking during baking.
Use Frozen Nutella Balls 🎯
Scoop Nutella into small balls and freeze them for 15-20 minutes before stuffing into dough—this prevents melting during assembly and keeps the filling concentrated in the center.
Cornstarch is Your Secret Weapon 🪄
Don't skip the cornstarch in this recipe; it creates the signature fudgy, brownie-like texture by reducing gluten development and keeping cookies soft and chewy rather than cake-like.
Underbake by 1-2 Minutes ⏱️
Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking on the baking sheet and stay molten, creating that irresistible gooey Nutella core.
Brown Your Butter for Depth 🧈
Toast the butter over medium heat until it turns golden with a nutty aroma, then cool it completely before creaming with sugars; this intensifies the chocolate flavor and adds sophisticated complexity to the cookies.
