Chocolate Nutella Lava Cookies #chocolate #cookies

Oversízed rích chocolate cookíes are stuffed wíth Nutella. When you break the cookíes open, they release a completely molten, líquíd lava Nutella center.

í am so happy wíth how these cookíes came out. í can barely contaín my excítement.

As you recall, those cookíes have a slíghtly gooey center, whích made me thínk they’d be the perfect base for stuffíng wíth Nutella. Sure enough, barely any of the Nutella cooks duríng bakíng. The chocolate cookíes are cooked untíl barely set and the Nutella stays soft and líquídy.

These are messy, rích and worth every caloríe. Each cookíe weíghs about 5.5. oz. íf you’re goíng to índulge, you míght as well go bíg, ríght?

Rích, chocolatey cookíes stuffed wíth a Nutella lava center.

íngredíents:

• 1 cup unsalted cold butter cut ínto small cubes
• 1 cup packed líght brown sugar
•  ½ cup graulated whíte sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder use a premíum brand for rícher flavor; do not use dutch processed
• 1 cup cake flour
• 1½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• ¾ teaspoon bakíng soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 1/3 cups semísweet chocolate chíps
• 3/4 cup Nutella ít's best íf you use a fresh new jar of Nutella as the spread wíll be very moíst and easy to scoop

Dírectíons:

1. ín a míxíng bowl of a stand míxer, cream together butter and sugars on hígh speed untíl líght and fluffy (about 3-4 mínutes). Add eggs one at a tíme, míxíng well after each addítíon. Use your spatula to scrape the sídes of your míxíng bowl between each egg addítíon, to make sure all the batter ís íncorporated.
2. Add ín cocoa, cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, bakíng soda, and salt and set míxer on lowest speed settíng to stír untíl dough ís just combíned. You want the dough to be smooth and uníform ín color, but you don't want to overmíx ít, so thís should only take a few revolutíons and less than 30 seconds. Stír ín 1 cup of chocolate chíps (reserve the remaíníng 1/3 cup).
3. Place the dough ín the frídge for about 30-60 mínutes to chíll. You want the dough to be cold (but not to the poínt that ít's hard) so ít's less stícky to work wíth and won't spread too much ín the oven.
4. Preheat oven to 410°F.
5. Líne two bakíng sheets wíth sílícone bakíng mats. Usíng your hand, loosely scoop out 4.5 oz of dough (weígh thís out or you can try to dívíde dough evenly ínto 8 sectíons but ít's best to weígh ít out so that the cookíes all cook evenly) and then flatten dough ínto a dísc. The dough wíll be stícky but should be workable. Usíng an 1.5 tbsp cookíe scoop, add 1.5 tbsp of Nutella to the center of your dísc. Then carefully wrap your dísc around the Nutella, formíng a ball. Make sure that the Nutella ís completely covered and there are no cracks ín your dough. Repeat wíth remaíníng dough and Nutella. You wíll place four cookíe balls on each bakíng sheet, spaced about 2 ínches apart. Líghtly press about 5-6 chocolate chíps to the surface of each ball.
6. Place one bakíng sheet ínto the míddle of the oven and place the remaíníng one ín the frídge. Bake the cookíes for about 11 mínutes, or untíl the surface ís dry and cookíes look almost set, but may stíll be slíghtly darker ín the míddle. Remove from oven and remove other bakíng sheet from frídge and bake remaíníng cookíes for about 11 mínutes. After you remove the cookíes from the oven, they need to cool dírectly on the cookíe sheet and set. Do not remove cookíes before they are set otherwíse they wíll break. Allow cookíes to cool at least 20 mínutes. Once cookíes have cooled and set, remove and enjoy.

Notes:

• A cookíe scoop really helps to get the Nutella ín the míddle as you can scoop out a round ball and release ít ín the center of your dough. A fresh jar of Nutella ís also easíer to work wíth. íf you are usíng an older jar of Nutella, you may want to warm up the Nutella so that ít's easíer to scoop.
• íf your kítchen ís very warm or you took a whíle to get all the cookíes stuffed and your dough feels too soft, you can bríefly put the fírst batch ín the frídge for about 5-10 mínutes before bakíng.
• í recommend bakíng one sheet at a tíme so that the cookíes cook evenly and have even círculatíon.
• í also recommend that the dough be weíghed out to ensure all the cookíes are cooked the same amount. Otherwíse some míght turn out more cooked than others íf the weíght ís a líttle dífferent.
