Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Nutella (plus extra for filling)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, then gradually mix in dry ingredients. Fold in ½ cup Nutella.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough, flatten into discs, add a teaspoon of Nutella, seal, and roll into balls.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature butter for easier mixing.
  • Don’t overbake—cookies should be soft in the center for the best lava effect.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes if too sticky.
  • Serve warm for maximum gooeyness!
