Ingredients

  • cookie dough
  • 1 cup 2 sticks butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • filling
  • 1/2 to 3/4 jar of Nutella

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Lightly spray muffin pans with baking spray or use silicone muffin pan.
  • Cream butter in a mixing bowl, gradually add both sugars and continue creaming until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
  • In a separate bowl, sift the flour, salt, and baking soda with a wire whisk until combined.
  • Slowly add to wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Roll dough into balls 1 or less inches thick.
  • Place them in the muffin pan (do not squish down yet!) and bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown but not too dark around the edges.
  • Remove from oven and use a heart shaped cookie cutter to make heartshaped cut on your cookie
  • and use teaspoon or similar object to press your heartshaped spot down as soon as they come out of the oven.
  • It creates a almost perfect heart shape for your Nutella to melt in!
  • Add 1 tsp Nutella to each cup – it will start to melt quickly so you can swirl it to the edges and make it nice and smooth.
  • Let cool 15-20 minutes in pan (At first the Nutella is nice and melty – be sure to eat at least one cookie this way!), and serve.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for a convenient treat.
