These cookies are golden on the outside and STUFFED with Nutella on the inside. With a touch of sea salt just for good measure!
Confession: I did NOT make these cookies.
My husband did. And they are OMG slap-yo-mama good.
Chris likes to bake on Sunday afternoons with our daughter. Which I should think is cute, but really all I can think about are the dishes piling up and the flour going everywhere. Sundays are not my baking days– plus we usually eat dinner at my mom’s, so I always have this grand delusion that the kitchen can stay clean on just that one day.
Hilarious. I know.
So here’s the story of how these came to be and why I’m telling you to make them…
A gal from my church brought these unreal Nutella stuffed cookies to our holiday cookie exchange last month. Several of us begged for the recipe, and she sent us here. I skimmed the recipe for a second, saw the words brown butter + chill + 2 hours. And I was like NOPE! I’m out ✌????.
And then last Sunday rolls around, and my husband asks, “what kind of cookies should we make?” Disclaimer: I’ve been on a Nutella binge for about a month. And so I say, “You should make those Nutella stuffed cookies from the Christmas party!
And I’m thinking–Â yeah right, in my dreams!
But my husband is so different from me, y’all. He’s not in a rush and he doesn’t mind putting in the time. So he decides to go for it! He browned the butter and let it cool. He chilled the dough for TWO WHOLE HOURS. He remembered to chill the Nutella so it would hold up better during baking and make a perfect little Nutella pocket inside each cookie.
That’s the kind of man I married you guys. ????
So yes… these cookies do require a little more TLC than the typical Something Swanky recipe. And this recipe doesn’t make a very big batch of cookies, since each individual cookie is JUMBO. Also, you will probably gain 10 lbs in a matter of hours.
BUT I’m not joking when I say that these cookies are so. worth. it. Period.
Mic drop.
