My favorite cookie dough is stuffed with a scoop of Nutella and sprinkled with Sea Salt to make an extra-large special cookie. Nutella Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies will be your new favorite cookie recipe.
One of my favorite cookies on the blog are these Cookie Butter Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies...I posted them a long time ago. Why on earth has it taken me this long to try a Nutella version? Sometimes I wonder what goes on in my head!!
I am happy to say stuffing my new favorite cookie recipe with Nutella and topping them with sea salt was a clear winner!
The richness of the Nutella oozing out of the middle is topped off with the sea salt. And sea salt on anything with chocolate is bomb diggity!
Have you ever put sea salt on your cookies? If you haven't I suggest you try it, it adds that little something extra. Just like Elle Woods does in Legally Blonde when turning in her paper with a spritz of perfume. You just can't stop eating a cookie when it has that little extra something.
One of my favorite things about this recipe is that in these cookies you can taste the butter. If you're going to be starting something off with lots of butter I better damn well taste it!
Some recipes its like the taste of butter disappears, not in these cookies.
These are large cookies though, I take what I would normally serve as one cookie and make that the base, flatten it out to a disc and fill with Nutella. Then top with another cookie slightly flattened out, pinch the sides together and roll into a ball. This recipe makes about 14- 16 large cookies, of course, you could make them smaller but something about adding Nutella and sea salt to a cookie makes it extra special and let's be honest extra special cookies are never small. Bigger is better when it comes to cookies!
Next time try my double chocolate sea salt cookie recipe.

Description
My favorite cookie dough is stuffed with a scoop of Nutella and sprinkled with Sea Salt to make an extra large special cookie. Nutella Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies will be your new favorite.
Ingredients
- 8oz (1 Cup) Unsalted Butter (2 sticks), at room temp.
- 100 Grams (½ Cup) Granulated Sugar
- 150 Grams (¾ Cup) Light Brown Sugar
- 2 Teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
- 2 Large Eggs, at room temp.
- 250 Grams (2 Cups) All-Purpose Flour
- ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoon Dry Milk Powder
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt
- 170 Grams (1 Cup) Chocolate Chips
- 8oz (1 Cup) Nutella
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy and the color has lightened. About 3-5 minutes.
- In a large bowl sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cornstarch, and milk powder.
- When the butter/sugar mixture has lightened add the eggs one at a time beating on medium speed. Add vanilla and beat mixture for another 2 minutes on low, make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl so everything is evenly incorporated.
- Slowly add the dry mixture and as the dry mixture is half mixed in add the chocolate.
- Using a medium (2 T) cookie scoop, scoop the batter into balls on a Silpat or parchment-lined baking sheet or plastic container. Once you have scooped the cookies sprinkle sea salt on top and lightly press into the dough. Cover with plastic wrap or plastic container lid and chill the cookies for at least 2 hours.
- Once the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Take one ball of dough and flatten it to a disc shape. Add a teaspoon of Nutella and use another cookie, flattened, to cover the Nutella and seal the cookie edges together.
- Place cookies on a Silpat lined baking sheet at least two inches apart. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until golden brown on the edges and set in the center. Sprinkle more sea salt on top if desired.

These cookies look so good but I’m just a bit confused. Your instructions mention adding cocoa powder but the cocoa is not listed in the cookie’s ingredients. Also, is there something I can substitute for the milk powder as this is something I do not use. Thank you
Elizabeth Waterson says
Hi Julie, thanks for reaching out. I am so sorry for the confusion, the cocoa powder should not be in the instructions. The milk powder you can just leave out. Or if you can grab some at the store it is great in baking. Milk powder enhances the baseline flavor of cookies and helps make cookies chewier. I love using it in my Cinnamon Rolls too. Please let me know if you have any other questions or if you make the cookies! Happy New Year! XX Liz
