Preparation
Step 1
Start by prepping the Nutella. Line a plate with wax or parchment paper and dollop 8 tablespoons onto the plate. Pop it in the freezer while you start on the dough.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter and sugars. Vigorously whisk for 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Next, mix in the egg and vanilla. Vigorously whisk for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Switch to a rubber spatula and mix in the dry ingredients.
Step 6
When some flour is still visible, fold in the chocolate chips to fully bring the dough together.
Step 7
Cover the bowl and chill the dough for 30 minutes.
Step 8
Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 9
Scoop the dough using a large 2 oz scoop (or 1/4 cup). Flatten out the cookie dough and place a frozen scoop of Nutella in the center.
Step 10
Mold the cookie dough around the Nutella and make sure it’s completely concealed with no cracks.
Step 11
Place 3-4 cookies on the baking sheet, all well spaced apart. Top with more chocolate chips if desired.
Step 12
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center looks just barely underdone.
Step 13
Sprinkle the warm cookies with flaky sea salt and transfer to a cooling rack.
Step 14
Allow the cookies to cool for about 20 minutes, then enjoy!

Chef's notes
To freeze the cookie dough, first scoop and fill each cookie with Nutella. Transfer the stuffed cookie dough balls to the refrigerator to firm up for about 30 minutes.
Once firm, chuck the cookie dough balls into a freezer-safe bag.
To bake the frozen dough, preheat the oven to 340F and allow the cookie dough to thaw while the oven preheats.
Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the cookies have golden and wrinkly edges with a pale and slightly underbaked center. Top with sea salt and enjoy!
