These Nutella-stuffed red velvet cookies feature a chewy texture with a gooey chocolate-hazelnut center, perfect for a quick and indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons red gel food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ¾ cup (180g) Nutella, chilled slightly

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes on medium speed.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract, red food coloring, and white vinegar until dough is vibrant red.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture and stir on low speed until just combined.
  5. Scoop Nutella into small portions and freeze for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
  6. Using a cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons), scoop dough, flatten slightly, place a frozen Nutella ball in the center, wrap dough around it, seal edges, and roll into a ball. Place on baking sheet 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through. Cookies will look slightly underbaked on top.
  8. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to set the chewy texture and keep Nutella gooey.

Notes

Chill Nutella before stuffing to prevent leaking. Do not overmix dough to keep cookies tender. If cookies spread too much, chill dough balls before baking. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
