Nutella Stuffed Cookies

These Nutella Stuffed Cookies are made with homemade peanut butter cookie dough stuffed with our favorite creamy, chocolatey hazelnut spread! The dough has as much peanut butter as possible so the cookies bake up so soft and chewy.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar divided
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup Nutella

Instructions

  • Add the butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and brown sugar to a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and mix on low speed until the dough is fully combined.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • After the dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Use a large cookie scoop to scoop out the dough.
  • Flatten the dough into a patty and place about a teaspoon of Nutella in the center of the dough. Carefully fold up the edges around the Nutella. Completely seal the Nutella in the dough. If needed, press small pieces of extra dough around any spaces where the Nutella is peeking out. Roll the dough into a ball.
  • Place the remaining ½ cup of granulated sugar on a plate or in a shallow bowl and roll each cookie through the sugar to coat.
  • Arrange cookies on the prepared baking sheet 1-2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 13 minutes or lightly browned around the edges.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

These are a bit larger than the average cookie, but we love them! For even larger cookies, reminiscent of the popular Crumbl cookies, use 2 large scoops of dough per cookie. Flatten one into a patty, place Nutella in center, and flatten the second ball of dough into a patty. Place it over the top, seal the edges, and shape into a ball. These cookies are HUGE, but super fun. You’ll get one dozen extra large cookies and you’ll need to bake them for 15 minutes.
