Description
Fudgy chocolate cake-mix cookies filled with a creamy Nutella center, soft in the middle with lightly crisp edges. Rich, gooey, and irresistibly chocolatey.
Ingredients
- Chocolate cake mix, 1 box (15.25 oz)
- Eggs, 2 large
- Vegetable oil, 1/3 cup
- Nutella, 1/2 cup (chilled in small dollops)
- Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon
- Salt, 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and chill teaspoon-sized Nutella dollops on a plate.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and salt until a thick dough forms.
- Set the prepared baking sheet nearby for easy assembly.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten slightly, place a chilled Nutella dollop in the center, then top with another tablespoon of dough. Seal edges completely and gently roll to round.
- Arrange on the baking sheet with space between cookies and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until set at the edges and soft in the centers.
- Cool on the sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Serve warm for a molten center or at room temperature for a fudgier bite.
Notes
- Freeze Nutella dollops for cleaner stuffing and less leakage.
- Do not overbake, cookies continue to set as they cool.
- Seal edges well to keep the filling inside.
- Optional finishes, drizzle melted chocolate or sprinkle flaky sea salt after baking.
- For deeper chocolate flavor, add a pinch of espresso powder to the dough.
