Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 1 large egg

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
6. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and create a slight indentation in the center of each.
8. Drop a teaspoon of Nutella into each indentation, then gently cover the Nutella with the surrounding dough to form a sealed ball.
9. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
10. Bake for 12 minutes or until the cookies have set around the edges but are still soft in the middle.
11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
12. Enjoy warm while the Nutella center is still gooey.
