  2. 2Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together in a mixing bowl.
  3. 3Add eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix well.

  5. 5Incorporate chocolate chips and mini M&Ms into the dough, mixing until just combined.
  6. 6Scoop out portions of the cookie dough and flatten each to create a disc.
  7. 7Place a frozen Nutella dollop in the center of each dough disc.
  8. 8Wrap the dough around the Nutella dollop, sealing it completely to form a ball.
  9. 9Roll the stuffed cookie dough ball in a bowl of extra mini M&Ms to coat the outside.
  10. 10Place the stuffed and coated cookie dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space for spreading.

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!
