Instructions
-
Prepare Nutella Drops: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drop 24 tablespoonfuls of Nutella, ensuring they don’t touch. Freeze for about an hour until solid.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, corn flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
-
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
-
Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the whole eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.
-
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the flour-cocoa mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping.
-
Form Cookie Dough: Divide the dough into 24 portions, scooping out about 2-3 tablespoons of dough for each. Roll into balls, then flatten each ball slightly.
-
Stuff with Nutella: Place a frozen Nutella ball in the center of each flattened dough ball. Carefully stretch the dough around the Nutella to completely enclose it.
-
Chill Cookies: Place the formed cookies on a baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with reserved chocolate chips and freeze for another hour.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
-
Bake: Bake the cookies directly from the freezer for 12-15 minutes. They should be slightly crispy around the edges and soft in the center.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy your Chocolate Nutella Lava Cookies warm for that gooey center!
These cookies are perfect for sharing, but they’re so delicious, you might just want to keep them all to yourself!
