T.G.I.C.F.! Thank God it’s Cookie Friday! The other day there was a little discussion with some food bloggers about ingredients for cooking and baking. Is it ok to use pre-made stuff for cooking or baking? Cake mixes, custard powder… basically everything that comes out of a bag and you just add one or two things and then it’s done…?

Well, of course it is ok, but I am not using baking mixes and stuff like that – neither do the bloggers I talked to. A cake mix is NEVER really needed. You can do all of that quick and easy yourself at home. Same thing for many other ingredients you might use for cooking and baking. If you look under the category »homemade« here, you can find some recipes and easy replacements in case you are interested.
Anyway. To be honest not all things can or have to be replaced. Occasionally there is just no time to make homemade puff pastry dough or noodles from scratch, right?. In that case I also use store-bought stuff. Even though it would not be hard or complicated to make at home. It’s all just a bit too time-consuming.

But there is something that’s quite challenging to replace, if I’m honest. I think you already know where this is going… NUTELLA. Right. Hard to replace. Not impossible anymore these days, but for die-hard fans most of the time not an option. I was a fan, but I found some alternatives that are just as good. In case you are interested – let me know. ;P
About those cookies here. Made and stuffed with Nutella. I guess you can see that pretty good in the pictures. These little fellas are spectacular. Delicious! Fresh out of the oven, when they are still a bit warm… so good! Add a glass of cold milk and the world is perfect again! Next time I might even add a bit more Nutella. Just to see how much I can add. Sounds good?! Happy Cookie Friday!
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
(16-18 cookies)
1 1/2 cups (200g) all-purpose flour*
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup (110g) butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup (100g) sugar (fine)*
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar*
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract*
7 oz. (200g) semi-sweet chocolate* (61%), chopped
16-18 tsp. Nutella
(16-18 Cookies)
200g Mehl (Type 405)*
1/2 TL Natron
1/4 TL Salz
110g weiche Butter
100g Zucker (fein)*
100g brauner Zucker*
1 Ei (L)
1 TL Vanille Extrakt*
200g Zartbitterschokolade* (61%), gehackt
16-18 TL Nutella




DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Start with the nutella filling. Prepare a wooden board or similar with baking parchment or some plastic wrap. Use a spoon and place 16-18 portions of Nutella on the prepared board, a heaping teaspoon each. Place it in the freezer and let it freeze for about one hour. The Nutella has to get harder, but not completely frozen.
2. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare two baking sheets with baking parchment and set them aside. Chop the chocolate and set it aside. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside.
3. In a large bowl mix butter and sugars and beat on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat on high speed until well combined. Add the flour mixture gradually and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped chocolate.
4. Take the Nutella out of the freezer. Take a small portion of the dough and press one of the frozen Nutella pieces into the dough and cover it completely with dough. Shape each dough portion into a ball, flatten it lightly and place them on the baking sheet. Bake the cookies for about 14-16 minutes or until the edges start to brown. Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool down on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes, then let them cool down completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
1. Mit der Nutellafüllung anfangen – dazu ein Holzbrett o.Ä. mit Backpapier oder Klarsichtfolie belegen und in kleinen Abständen 16-18 Portionen Nutella mithilfe eines Teelöffels darauf verteilen. Die Unterlage mit den Nutellaportionen zusammen in den Gefrierschrank stellen und für etwa eine Stunde hart werden lassen. Das Nutella muss nur etwas hart werden, nicht komplett durchfrieren.
2. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Zwei Backbleche mit Backpapier belegen und zur Seite stellen. Die Schokolade hacken und zur Seite stellen. Das Mehl mit Natron und Salz vermischen und ebenfalls zur Seite stellen.
3. Die Butter mit den beiden Zuckersorten in einer großen Schüssel hell und luftig aufschlagen. Das Ei und den Vanille Extrakt dazugeben und gut unterrühren. Die Mehlmischung dazugeben und kurz unterrühren, dann die gehackte Schokolade unterheben.
4. Die Nutellaportionen aus dem Gefrierschrank nehmen. Jeweils eine kleine Portion Teig in die Hand nehmen und dann eine Portion Nutella hineinpressen und komplett mit Teig ummanteln. Den Teig zu einer Kugel formen, leicht flachdrücken und dan mit genügend Abstand zueinander auf die Backbleche setzen. Die Cookies für etwa 14-16 Minuten backen – die Ränder sollten anfangen, braun zu werden. Die Cookies aus dem Ofen nehmen und erst auf dem Blech etwas abkühlen lassen, dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen. In einem luftdichten Behälter aufbewahren.
