These cookies will MELT in your mouth.
Literally.
-I’m so hungry I could literally eat a house.
Wrong, unless it’s a gingerbread house or you happen to be a termite.
–These Nutella Stuffed Cookies literally melt in your mouth.
Correct!
Grammar lessons are much more exciting when dessert is involved, don’t you think?
(I think grammar is always exciting… I am a nerd.)
Nutella Stuffed Sugar Cookies
Print This Recipe
[mrp_rating_result show_count="false" show_rich_snippets="false"]
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup spelt, white, or Bob’s gf flour
- 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup sugar or xylitol (I like Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Sugar)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2-4 tsp milk of choice
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup Healthy Nutella or chocolate spread of choice
Instructions
Grease a cookie tray, and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine first five ingredients and stir well. Add all remaining ingredients except the chocolate spread, and stir to form a dough. Especially if using the gf flour option, you may need to very slowly add a little extra milk of choice to form a non-crumbly dough. Transfer the dough to a large plastic bag and smush into a ball from inside the bag. Open the bag and break off pieces of the ball, rolling into 22-26 mini balls. Flatten the mini balls, then take only half of the flattened mini cookies and place a blob of chocolate spread in the middle of each. Place the other flattened discs on top, cinch the sides, then roll back up into balls. Chill in the fridge at least 1 hour, or freeze at least 20 minutes. (You can also freeze for up to a month and bake at a later date.) Preheat oven to 325 F. Bake 11 minutes – they will still look underdone when you remove from the oven, which is what you want. Allow the cookies to cool at least 10 minutes before even touching one, during which time they will firm up.

I could literally eat a whole batch of these. They look perfect.
Love Low Fat says
Sugar cookies and Nutella, what an awesome sounding combination. Totally psyched to try them!
Hollie says
Back in college, I ate a ton of nutella. I went through it pretty quickly and I think that after that I stopped just due to the amount I ate previously. These do look really good though and who can resist a good cookie?
Julie @ WolfItDown says
Mmmm Nutella! Can’t go wrong with that! I love cookies like these that have a surprise inside 😀 x
Robin says
These look amazing and so perfect in a bite size!
Sammi @Sunshine Recipes says
My husband would go crazy for these!
Avra-Sha Faohla says
I heard a funny line: “Misuse of ‘literally’ makes me figuratively insane.”
I love grammar.
Gillian says
Actually, if you want to get literal here you’d have to say “dissolve.” At the temperature and pressure achievable in the human mouth these cookies are unlikely to phase change into a liquid form. Science > Grammar. IMHO. 😉
Chocolate Covered Katie says
This literally made me laugh 🙂
EVA says
Grammar isn’t math which therefore makes it fun. Math is the WORST. It sounds too much like meth, and therefore should be outlawed!
Leslie says
Ya can’t go wrong with Nutella.
Matea says
Nutella-stuffed-anything is totally welcome in my house! Looking up your healthy nutella recipe; can’t wait to make it!
Amanda says
A tip for filling cookies with Nutella: Pipe little dots of Nutella on a baking sheet and pop in the freezer. You’ll have little discs of frozen Nutella that are much easier to place in the middle of your cookie dough. 🙂
Love your recipes Katie!
Heather says
That’s such a great idea!!
Emily van Kampen says
These cookies might just be my next favorite cookies. I like anything that has Nutella in it, but in cookies it is basically the best thing.
EVA says
OH! I also have to point out how I think it’s hilariously ironic how today is national “Chocolate Covered Anything” day, yet in this recipe, the CHOCOLATE is being covered! WOAH
Kelly says
These look and sound amazing, yum!

Love these…I make something similar (they’re actually called “Baci” cookies). Funny cause I just made sugar cookies the other day with peanut butter. I’m all about sugar cookies right now, lol! The next time I make them I’m going to do chai and then lemon chocolate chip 😉
sohia says
Made this yesterday as soon as I saw your recipe and they tasted DIVINE! didnt have nutella but mixed some coconut butter, almond butter, cocoa powder and agave and used that instead for the filling. They were great :)!!
Rosario says
I guess any filling would work? How about jam?
Lauren says
Katie, you are right I do need more nutella in my life 😉
Caralyn @ glutenfreehappytummy says
these look too good to be true!
Shonalika says
How is it you continually combine simple ideas to create such mindboggling new ones? I need to make these just to prove to myself that such a creation is even possible XD
Agnieszka says
These sound amazing! I will definitely try them out.
emma of Zimt says
Bahahaha!!!! Ah, if the cookies are as good as your grammar lesson… I am making them!
Heather says
These are so freakin’ good! I would recommend making once flattening the dough, simply bake them and make sandwich cookies. I found trying to roll the Nutella and keeping it inside was rather difficult and time consuming. However, it was worth it, they melt in your mouth! Waiting the 10 min for them to firm up was the longest 10 min of my life!
Amanda says
Just made these with all-purpose flour, almond milk, vegetable oil, and a Reese’s chocolate peanut butter spread (instead of nutella). SO GOOD!! (Even with messing up and putting too much milk in.)
I really like that you can mix and match different ingredients and that your recipes work with many different pantries. Thanks!
dawn says
my daughter can not have spelt (or corn, or wheat, or potato, or tapioca…. and the list goes on and on) is there another “flour” you would recommend. Would this recipe work with oat flour or buckwheat flour???
Thank you, your recipes look amazing.
Unofficial CCK Helper says
Try this recipe. You could ice them with the nutella if desired. https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/12/18/grain-free-sugar-cookies/
Sara says
Katie, do you have any suggestions for making crunchy vegan cookies without tons of added vegan butter or sugar? I don’t see any crunchy cookies on your site, just soft. I’m trying to make PB cookies with a crunch. Thanks 🙂
Miriam says
These were delicious! I made them with dairy milk and xylitol. They came together SO quickly, and I love the size of the batch…just perfect. I also followed one of the suggestions in the comments to freeze dollops of nutella for 15 minutes, and then drop then into the cookies…wow. So EASY. Thanks for a PERFECT, delicious, easy recipe, Katie. 🙂
Deepa Suresh says
My girl is an addict of Nutella and she is going to love these cookies. Next in my to-do list. Very nice article with equally good snaps. Thanks.
Maria Eduarda de Souza Sodini says
Hi sweetie, do you think this recipe would work if I used oat flour instead of white flour?
Jason Sanford says
Edible experiments are the best kind. Be sure to report back with results if you do try!
