- 4In the same bowl, add all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- 5Incorporate chocolate chips and mini M&Ms into the dough, mixing until just combined.
- 6Scoop out portions of the cookie dough and flatten each to create a disc.
- 7Place a frozen Nutella dollop in the center of each dough disc.
- 8Wrap the dough around the Nutella dollop, sealing it completely to form a ball.
- 9Roll the stuffed cookie dough ball in a bowl of extra mini M&Ms to coat the outside.

Tips
- You can downsize your dough balls, but keep an eye on your bake time.
- Give cookies room to spread while baking; you can fix their shape by swirling something circular around them while hot.
- Leave cookies on the baking sheet for 20 minutes after baking; they may look underbaked but will set up deliciously.
- Freezing the Nutella dollops and stuffed cookies is optional but recommended for best results.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before baking.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving to allow the Nutella to set properly.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
- These cookies are ideal for sharing or as a special treat for chocolate and M&M lovers.
- You can customize your cookies by adding different types of chocolate chips or other mix-ins to the dough.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle a few extra mini M&Ms on top of the cookies before baking for added visual appeal.
- Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother cookie dough texture.
- The recipe makes large cookies, so adjust the baking time if you make smaller cookies to prevent overbaking.
- Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added; mix until just combined to keep the cookies tender.
- Enjoy your delicious Nutella-stuffed M&M cookies!
