CHOCOLATE NUTELLA LAVA COOKIES Recipes

Oversized rich chocolate cookies are stuffed with Nutella. When you break the cookies open, they release a completely molten, liquid lava Nutella center.

I am so happy with how these cookies came out. I can barely contain my excitement.

I’ve made Nutella stuffed cookies before, but the problem was always that some of the Nutella would cook while the cookies baked, so while they still had a gooey Nutella center, they didn’t have a lava center.

recall, those cookies have a slightly gooey center, which made me think they’d be the perfect base for stuffing with Nutella. Sure enough, barely any of the Nutella cooks during baking. The chocolate cookies are cooked until barely set and the Nutella stays soft and liquidy.

These are messy, rich and worth every calorie. Each cookie weighs about 5.5. oz. If you’re going to indulge, you might as well go big, right?

Ingredients:

•  1 cup unsalted cold butter cut into small cubes
•  1 cup packed light brown sugar
•  ½ cup graulated white sugar
•  2 large eggs
•  ½ cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder use a premium brand for richer flavor; do not use dutch processed
•  1 cup cake flour
•  1½ cup all-purpose flour
•  1 teaspoon cornstarch
•  ¾ teaspoon baking soda
•  ½ teaspoon salt
•  1 1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
•  3/4 cup Nutella it’s best if you use a fresh new jar of Nutella as the spread will be very moist and easy to scoop

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugars on high speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Use your spatula to scrape the sides of your mixing bowl between each egg addition, to make sure all the batter is incorporated.
2. Add in cocoa, cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and set mixer on lowest speed setting to stir until dough is just combined. You want the dough to be smooth and uniform in color, but you don’t want to overmix it, so this should only take a few revolutions and less than 30 seconds. Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips (reserve the remaining 1/3 cup).
