This is a super simple one-bowl nutella stuffed cookie recipe that’s awesome for the holidays and so incredibly delicious. I won’t even bother daring you to eat just one!
Well guys, we’re in the thick of the holiday season and so it just wouldn’t make sense to not stuff our faces with holiday cookies and candy. I think. Either way…
Recently, I suddenly had this epiphany that came about because I needed nutella…
and I needed a cookie…
AND I wanted it to be simple and utterly delectable.
Then it hit me. And here we go! The Holiday Cookie of the Year Award goes to the lovely and scrumptious NUTELLA STUFFED SUGAR COOKIES! *wooooo!*
Honestly though, I feel like the title should really speak for itself with this cookie. But, as if you needed more of a nudge from the darkside, I’m going to throw in some really neat and pretty pictures for you plus a video that shows you how to make them step-by-step with me devouring them at the end—obviously.
So let’s all just cut to the chase because we know we already know that we’re all making these cookies after this. Right?
Nutella.
Stuffed inside a buttery, delicate, sweet and simple cookie. Seriously though.
Need I say more? Bake time fun time now.

Nutella Stuffed Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 sticks of softened butter 1 cup
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp baking powder aluminum-free
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 ¼ cups hazelnut chocolate spread nutella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (176ºC).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter with sugar and eggs. Beat well with electric mixer.
- Add flour. And directly on top, add the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. And give a quick mix of the dry ingredients with a spoon/spatula just to disperse them evenly before using the electric mixer to combine the dry with the wet ingredients.
- Once combined, take a 1-inch ball of dough and pat it flat into your palm. Add a dollop of nutella (about the size of a hershey’s kiss) to the middle and form a pouch around it, pinching the edges together so that the dough completely envelops the nutella. You can patch it up with more dough if the nutella tries to escape the dough.
- Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and give about 2 inches of space between the cookies. Put in oven for 8-10 minutes. They shouldn’t turn brown. They’ll be overcooked if they do. Enjoy this deliciousness!
These look wonderful! What a great idea!
Thanks Becky!! 😀 xoxo
Well I tried doing these today and the dough was very sticky and they melted and spread into 1 giant thin cookie with lumps of visible Nutella .. I’m going to try sticking these in the freezer for a while before baking, do you think that will help?
Oh I’m sorry to hear that:(
If your dough is spreading on its own then it needs to be colder. Putting the dough in the fridge before adding the Nutella will solve your issue. Pastry doughs and cookie doughs usually have to be worked with fairly quickly for this reason. Please let me know if this helps. Best of luck, Crystal 🙂
I put them in the freezer til they were hard… They spread a little less but they still stuck together w/ lumps. My family still liked them though 😀
Glad they worked out okay in the end. 🙂
Oh man, these cookies turned out AMAZING, and they were a hit when I brought them to work. Perfectly delicious, the sugar cookie was soft and with the nutella surprise, so so good. I had also frozen the dollops of nutella a bit first (maybe just ~30min in the freezer) because I was afraid it would all just spread/melt together. It also helped with assembling the balls before baking because I could easily just pick them up and stick them in the dough. Thank you so much for the recipe!! Going to make these again for this weekend’s holiday party! Cannot wait!
I love it, Vicky! So glad they were such a hit! Your tip is great, by the way! Thanks for commenting and I hope the holiday party was fun and that the cookies continued to be a hit 😉
