Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Then, scoop 9 tablespoon dollops of Nutella on it. Place them in the freezer while you make your dough.
9 tbsp Nutella
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter and sugars until well combined, about 2 minutes.
1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar
Add in egg and vanilla and continue whisking.
1 egg, 1 tbsp vanilla
Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a spatula, gently fold into the dough until a soft cookie dough forms and no flour streaks appear.
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
Toss in the chocolate chips and fold in a few times.
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350β/180β and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Scoop 2 tbsp worth of dough using a cookie scooper and add one frozen dollop of Nutella inside (See photos above for reference).
Fold the cookie dough around the Nutella and make sure itβs completely concealed. Place on baking tray. Bake 4 cookies at a time.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center looks slightly under baked. It'll continue to bake on the tray/as it cools.
Sprinkle the warm cookies with flaky sea salt (optional but recommended) and transfer to a cooling rack.
Enjoy!
