These cookies feature a whole Ferrero Rocher chocolate nestled inside soft, chewy cookie dough with crispy edges, creating a gooey, nutty center that’s irresistibly indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed (165g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • About 24 Ferrero Rocher chocolates (one per cookie)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides to combine fully.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Scoop about 2 tablespoons (30g) of dough and flatten slightly in your palm. Place one Ferrero Rocher in the center, then wrap the dough around completely, sealing it well.
  7. Place the stuffed cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12–14 minutes until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if too sticky to handle. Seal dough tightly around the Ferrero Rocher to prevent leaks. Do not overbake to keep centers soft and gooey. Dough can be refrigerated up to 48 hours or frozen for longer storage; add 2-3 minutes to baking time if baking from frozen. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and dairy-free chocolates. Gluten-free flour blends with xanthan gum can be used as a substitute.
