How to make Nutella-filled cookies

Making these stuffed cookies is easy and only takes less than ten ingredients.

• Flour. Always use all-purpose flour unless it’s specified in the recipe
• Cocoa powder to add extra depth of color and chocolate taste
• Baking powder to encourage the dough to spread up and out
• Butter. I use sweet butter; however, unsalted butter also works
• Sugar. You will need granulated sugar and dark brown sugar
• Egg and another yolk
• Baileys for extra flavor
• Nutella for filling

How to make chocolate-filled cookies

• Combine the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a bowl. Set aside.
• Whisk butter, sugar, brown sugar, and egg until combined.
• Add Baileys and flour mixture; then fold using a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Take a scoop of cookie dough and flatten it into a small dish. Take a spoonful of chilled Nutella and place it in the center. Pinch the seams like a dumpling. Roll into a ball and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the oven at 350F for 10 minutes, then cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Make ahead cookies

You can make these cookies ahead. Follow steps 1-4; then freeze the dough on a baking sheet for 1 hour. Transfer to an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Be sure to thaw the dough overnight before you continue with step #5.

Substitutions

If you run out of Nutella, you can also use peanut butter or speculoos cookie butter, which always turns out to be a favorite!

Whether you call these Nutella-filled cookies or Nutella-stuffed cookies, these chocolate Baileys cookies are next-level cookies. They’re soft, chewy, rich dark chocolate cookies with a little booze.
