Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup butter (softened) Adds richness and moisture; use room temperature for easy blending.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Provides sweetness and contributes to the cookie structure.
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar Adds depth of flavor and moisture for a chewy texture.
  • 1 large egg Binds ingredients and helps with leavening; use room temperature for better incorporation.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Enhances flavor; opt for pure for the best taste.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Offers structure to the cookies; precise measurement is key to avoid density.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Acts as leavening, helping cookies rise slightly.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances sweetness and enhances overall flavor.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Adds chocolatey goodness; semi-sweet works best for balance.
For the Filling
  • 1/2 cup Nutella Provides the gooey center; freeze before stuffing to prevent leaking during baking.
