Step 1: and a very important step indeed: grab a small baking sheet, or even a plate will suffice and put teaspoon-sized dollops of Nutella on there. They should be spaced pretty evenly, but try and fit as many on as you can. Pop that bad boy in the freezer. This is a really important step because when you shape the cookies, it will be much easier to close the dough around the Nutella if it’s hard.
Step 2: Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl and put it off to the side; we’ll add that in a minute.
Step 3: Cream the butter and the sugar. You can do this either by hand or in a mixer. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add dry ingredients and mix.
Step 4: Add half a bag of chocolate chips and mix! Now here’s the fun part. Take the Nutella out of the freezer. After lining a baking sheet with baking paper, take a bit of dough and create a little bowl. Pop off a dollop of Nutella and put it in the cookie dough bowl you just made and close the dough around the Nutella, rolling into a ball. Fill up the sheet and bake till your cookies are ready to your likeness! We usually take them out after about 12 minutes. Let ‘em cool and enjoy the deep decadence that is the Nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookie!
