I’m starting to believe there’s not really anything or anyone more photogenic than chocolate sauce or melted chocolate when it’s given just the right amount of daylight. I’m in love with the way it reflects light. It’s mesmerizing. I’ve been waking up lately and saying to myself I really want to make something with melted chocolate not only so I can eat it but so I can take pictures of it. I sound like a need a life or something :) but melty, drippy, and inevitably messy chocolate (or Nutella) is amazing I tell you! As are these cookies.Can there be such thing as too much chocolate? I highly doubt it. These are loaded with chocolaty richness, and they are so unbelievably fudgy they will likely remind you of milk chocolate brownies – especially when they are warm. And that Nutella that seeps out of the center with the first bite, it’s what dreams are made of.
I think the best method for stuffing the cookies is what I’ve listed in the recipe below. Last time I made a Nutella a stuffed cookie I wondered if I could maybe freeze the Nutella in dollops on baking sheets before stuffing them into the cookies (so they wouldn’t be as messy and be quicker to stuff), then I noticed Annie had done it on her blog, Annie’s Eats, so I was glad to see it worked. It works perfectly. Yes you can make these cookies without the Nutella filled centers (making simply chocolate chocolate chip cookies), I made half with and half without and both were delicious so just do what you are in the mood for. Enjoy!
