Ingredients

12 teaspoons Nutella or hazelnut spread
14 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips + some for the top

Instructions

Line a small cookie sheet with parchment paper. Dollop 12 teaspoons of Nutella on the tray, ensuring they are an inch or two apart. Pop them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Mix butter with brown and granulated sugar with an electric hand mixer until well combined.
Blend in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Then, fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly combined.
Prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Use a medium cookie scoop (2 tablespoons) to add a scoop of cookie dough onto the baking pan. Press down with the bottom of the cookie scooper, so you can make the center flat to place the frozen Nutella onto the cookie. The diameter of the cookie dough should be bigger than the diameter of the frozen Nutella filling.
Take one frozen Nutella filling and place it on top of the cookie dough. Take another scoop of cookie dough and gently but firmly seal the Nutella inside with the bottom piece of cookie dough, encasing it in the dough and making a ball.
Continue with the rest, until you have your 12 filled cookies. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Place the filled cookie dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm the dough.
Remove from refrigertaor and bake for 15 to 18 minutes on center rack in oven. Remove to wire rack to allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
