Nutella & Salted Caramel Stuffed Dark Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp instant coffee granules dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water*
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract*
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt + extra for sprinkling
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- 200 g (about 8 oz) dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
- ¾ cup Nutella or any chocolate-hazelnut spread (you may need up to 1 cup)
- 35-40 caramel-stuffed chocolate pieces*
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Spoon 1 tsp mounds of Nutella onto the parchment paper, spacing them at least 1 cm apart. Freeze until firm.
- Break apart or unwrap the caramel-filled chocolates if needed.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the coffee mixture, vanilla, and eggs, and continue to beat until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and flour.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, scraping the bowl to ensure everything is well combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Remove the Nutella mounds from the freezer. Take 1 tbsp of cookie dough, flatten it slightly, and place a Nutella mound and a piece of caramel chocolate in the center. Top with another flattened tbsp of dough and seal the edges to form a ball. If the dough is too sticky, mix in an extra 2 tbsp of flour.
- Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-9 minutes or until the tops are set and no longer glossy. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Sprinkle the warm cookies with a pinch of sea salt or coarse salt.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before enjoying.
