Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Nutella (for stuffing)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a small tray with parchment paper. Drop 12 small teaspoons of Nutella onto the tray. Place the tray in the freezer for at least 30 minutes until the Nutella is firm and easy to handle.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes with a hand mixer.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Take about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it in your palm. Place one frozen Nutella dollop in the center. Carefully wrap the dough around the Nutella, pinching the edges to ensure it is completely sealed. Roll it into a smooth ball.
- Place a piece of parchment paper in the air fryer basket (make sure it doesn’t cover all the holes for airflow). Place 4 to 5 cookies in the basket, leaving space between them. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool in the basket for 5 minutes before moving them.
