Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Cookies are delicious chocolate cookies stuffed with Nutella spread. These are kids' favorite and make a wonderful treat.
Freezing the Nutella is quite a tough task and it wouldn't freeze well. The result is you might end up with a messy plate trying to stuff the spread between layers. If you don't mind licking and wiping and cleaning, this is surely a task.
My boys really loved these stuffed ones and I have been wanting to make this for a while. Every month I get a bottle it gets over before I could plan for this. So finally here's this done. I used the same recipe as my classic chocolate chip cookies and modified it to make it into a chocolate delight for my boys.
These are for my sixth day of Bake-a-thon and you can check out the collection at the end of the post for my friends who are doing this along with me. Other versions you can check is the Almond Cranberry Cookies

1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 cup Nutella

In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter till it melts completely. Allow to cool.
In a bowl, take the flour, cocoa powder along with both the sugars, baking soda and mix well.
Next mix the egg replacer with 2 tbsp water and let it sit for a minute.
Then add this mix to the flour and mix well.
Add the melted butter and combine to form a dough.
If you are not able to form the dough, add a tbsp of milk.
Refrigerate for 10 mins.
Pinch out into balls and flatten it.
Take out the frozen Nutella spread and place on top, close the cookie dough over this to completely cover it.
Bake in a preheated oven at 185C for 11 to 12 mins.
Check if its done by 10 mins.
Allow to cool down before storing it.
Notes
You can use caster sugar instead of granulated sugar. Demerara can also be replaced with brown sugar.
Since we have used melted butter, the dough should be chilled before baking, else your cookies will spread.
