🍪 Ingredients (makes about 12–14 cookies)

Cookies
• All-purpose flour — 280 g (2¼ cups)
• Cocoa powder, unsweetened — 100 g (1 cup)
• Cornstarch — 16 g (2 tbsp)
• Baking soda — 10 g (2 tsp)
• Salt — 3 g (½ tsp)
• Unsalted butter, softened — 225 g (1 cup)
• Granulated sugar — 200 g (1 cup)
• Brown sugar (light or dark, packed) — 200 g (1 cup)
• Eggs — 2 large
• Vanilla extract — 2 tsp
• Nutella — 300 g (about 1 cup, for filling)
• Flaky sea salt — for topping (optional)


👩‍🍳 Instructions

Cookies
1. Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Stir in vanilla extract.
6. Add dry ingredients and mix just until combined — do not overmix.


Filling & Shaping
1. Scoop Nutella into small portions (about 1–1½ tsp each) and place them on a plate.
2. Freeze Nutella scoops for 10–15 minutes until firm.
3. Take a portion of cookie dough, flatten it slightly, place frozen Nutella in the center, and seal completely.
4. Roll into a smooth ball and place on the baking tray.


❄️ Important Step
Once all cookies are shaped, freeze them for 15–20 minutes.
This helps the cookies keep their shape and ensures a gooey lava center after baking.


🔥 Baking
1. Bake cookies for 10–12 minutes.
2. The edges should be set, while the centers remain soft.
3. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt right after baking, if desired.
4. Let cookies rest on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
