Ingredients
  

For the cookie dough:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Nutella filling:

1/2 cup Nutella

Instructions
 

Prep the Cookie Dough:

    - In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

      - Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients:

          - In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

            Incorporate Chocolate Chips:

              - Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.

                Chill the Dough:

                  - Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will help the cookies maintain their shape during baking.

                    Prepare Nutella Pockets:

                      - While the dough is chilling, scoop out small tablespoons of Nutella onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15-20 minutes until firm.

                        Assemble the Cookies:

                          - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

                            - Once the dough is chilled and the Nutella scoops are firm, take about 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a frozen scoop of Nutella in the center and wrap the dough around it, rolling it into a ball. Make sure there are no gaps and that the Nutella is entirely enclosed.

                              Bake the Cookies:

                                - Place the cookie balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each (about 2 inches apart).

                                  - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the middle.

                                    Cool and Enjoy:

                                      - Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                                        - Enjoy warm or at room temperature as they reveal a gooey Nutella center!
