Description
These Nutella-Stuffed Cookie Dough Brownies combine the best of three worlds: a fudgy brownie base, a creamy Nutella center, and a soft, chewy cookie dough topping. Every bite delivers layers of chocolatey bliss that melt in your mouth.
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 1/4 cups, provides structure to the brownie and cookie dough layers.
- Unsalted Butter: 3/4 cup melted, adds richness and keeps everything moist.
- Granulated Sugar: 1/2 cup, sweetens the brownie layer perfectly.
- Brown Sugar: 1/2 cup, adds caramel flavor to the cookie dough.
- Cocoa Powder: 1/2 cup, gives deep chocolate flavor to the brownie.
- Eggs: 2 large, bind the brownie batter together.
- Vanilla Extract: 2 teaspoons, enhances all the flavors.
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon, balances the sweetness.
- Chocolate Chips: 3/4 cup, add melty chocolate pockets to the cookie dough.
- Nutella: 3/4 cup, creates the creamy middle layer.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix melted butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt to make the brownie batter. In another bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, butter, and vanilla for cookie dough, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.
- Assemble the Dish: Add frozen Nutella on top of the brownie layer, then gently spread cookie dough over it. Finish with remaining brownie batter on top.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the top is set but still slightly gooey inside.
- Finishing Touches: Cool completely in the pan before slicing.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice into squares and serve slightly warm for maximum gooeyness.
Notes
- Freeze Nutella before layering to prevent mixing of layers.
- Chill brownies before slicing for clean edges.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a flavor contrast.
