Ingredients

½ cup salted butter softened
½ cup white granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1 ½ cups Nutella

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Combine the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to cream the ingredients together until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the egg and vanilla. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Reduce the speed of your hand mixer and gently add flour, baking soda, and cocoa. Make sure no dry pockets remain in your cookie dough.
Use a standard 2 tablespoon size cookie scoop to drop balls of cookie dough onto a large baking sheet. Bake your cookies for 12 minutes.
As soon as your cookies come out of the oven, use the back of a spoon or a small cup to create an indent in the center of each cookie. Fill each cookie with a spoonful of Nutella and allow Nutella to melt.
Let your cookies cool for five minutes before tranfsfering them to a wire cooling rack. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Be careful when adding the indents and Nutella to the cookies, as they will be very hot!
Feel free to freeze the unbaked cookie dough so you can enjoy these Nutella-stuffed cookies at a later date.
When storing these cookies, add parchment paper in between the layers to prevent them from sticking together.
