Nutella Stuffed Red Velvet Cookies Recipes

NUTELLA-STUFFED RED VELVET COOKIES

Steps:

• Line a small baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Transfer nutella to a large ziplock or piping bag fit with a ½-inch pastry tip. Pipe 2 teaspoons rounds of nutella on paper and freeze until very firm, at least one hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine red velvet cake mix and baking powder. Whisk to combine.
• Add eggs and oil and combine. Fold in chocolate chips.
• Using a tablespoon measure or one tablespoon-capacity ice cream scoop, scoop a tablespoon of dough and place one portion of frozen nutella atop.
• Enclose with an additional 1 tablespoon of cookie dough, roll into a ball, and place on prepared baking sheet.
• Repeat with remaining dough and nutella, spacing cookies 2 inches apart and chilling dough or nutella as necessary to keep firm.
• Transfer to oven and bake 10 minutes, until just baked through and slightly crisp on edges.

NUTELLA-STUFFED COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl.
• Beat together the brown sugar and butter in another large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at time, beating after each addition to incorporate. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated.
• Divide the dough into 18 equal mounds, each about 2 tablespoons, and flatten slightly with wet hands. Put 2 teaspoons of the chilled chocolate-hazelnut spread in the center of each piece of dough, then press and pinch the cookie dough around the spread to form round and sealed balls. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Put 6 chilled dough balls onto each prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 20 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack or plate and serve warm if you'd like. When the baking sheets have cooled completely, bake the remaining 6 dough balls on one of the sheets, then let cool slightly.
• Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
