Last summer my sister spent six weeks in Paris and fell in love with this stuff called Nutella. Maybe I've been living under a rock for the past 26 years, but I had never really heard that much about it until her love affair began. Still, it took about 16 months and a special occasion for me to ever buy a jar of this chocolate hazelnut spread.
I had stumbled upon a recipe for nutella stuffed cookies on Pinterest (surprise, surprise) a while back and figured Sarah Beth's birthday would be the perfect time to give these babies a go. Sure, they took a bit longer to make than your average cookie, but they were so good that the extra effort was MORE than worth it.
These cookies have brown butter, brown sugar and three (yes, three) different kinds of chocolate chips mixed into the dough. A nice plump dollop of nutella fills the middle while a light sprinkle of sea salt on top gives these cookies an unexpected pop of flavor.
While these cookies are certainly nothing less than delicious once they cool, they taste the best just out of the oven when the dough is still incredibly soft and warm and the nutella just spills out when you bite in.....can you tell I ate several of these and know just how they taste best??? If you're not near the oven when they come out just pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
