Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/3 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, red food coloring, and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
- Take a tablespoon of the cookie dough, flatten it slightly, and place a teaspoon of Nutella in the center. Cover with another tablespoon of dough, seal the edges, and form into a cookie shape.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should be set but still soft. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra touch of luxury, sprinkle a little sea salt on top of the cookies before baking.
- These cookies are best enjoyed the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
