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
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.Â

Nutella-stuffed-anything is totally welcome in my house! Looking up your healthy nutella recipe; can’t wait to make it!
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!
That’s such a great idea!!
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.
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
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 😉
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 :)!!
I guess any filling would work? How about jam?
Katie, you are right I do need more nutella in my life 😉
these look too good to be true!
