Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour gluten free, if necessary
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup brown sugar can use coconut sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup vegan butter softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips of choice
1/4 cup chocolate spread I used vegan chocolate spread * See notes
1/4 cup milk of choice ** See notes

Instructions

Place a sheet of parchment paper on a plate. Drop 12 heaping teaspoons of chocolate spread and place in the freezer for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking sheet or cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add your flour, salt, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, mix together your sugars and softened butter until smooth and creamy. Add your vanilla extract.
Gently add your flour mixture and mix until just combined. Fold through your chocolate chips. If the batter is too thick, add a little milk. Form 12 balls of cookie dough.
Remove the frozen chocolate spread pieces from the freezer. Moving quickly, take a cookie dough ball and press down to flatten out. Form a small hole in the center and place a piece of frozen chocolate spread in the center of it. Cover the chocolate with the cookie dough completely, to ensure no Nutella seeps out. Repeat until all the cookie dough balls are stuffed.
Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are slightly brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the sheet for 10 minutes, before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

* Any chocolate spread of choice. I used vegan chocolate spread, and you can use healthy Nutella.

** Only add the milk if the cookie dough is too thick.
