Chocolate Nutella Lava Cookies

Step 1: To prepare Chocolate Nutella Lava Cookies Recipe, on a Baking sheet lined with parchment paper/baking paper, drop 24 tablespoonful’s of nutella such that they do not touch each other and freeze for about an hour, until solid

Step 2: In a medium bowl, add the flour, corn flour/cornstarch, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; mix and keep aside

Step 3: In another large bowl, add the butter, sugar and brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes)

Step 4: Add the eggs and vanilla; mix to combine, and then add the flour-cocoa mixture and mix everything together

Step 5: Stir in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to top the cookies with

Step 6: Now you need to divide the dough into 24 portions

Step 7: I found it easiest working with a tablespoon and scooped out about 2-3 tablespoons of dough per portion; you could also use a 1/4 cup measure or eyeball it, whatever works for you

Step 8: Once you have portioned the dough, roll it into balls then flatten the dough ball (I used my hands) and place a frozen nutella ball in the centre of each dough ball

Step 9: Stretch the cookie dough from the sides so that the nutella ball in the centre is completely covered with the cookie dough

Step 10: The nutella starts to melt pretty quickly so remove from the freezer in batches or just put it back into the freezer to harden

Step 11: Place the cookies on a baking sheet about 2 inches apart, sprinkle with the left over chocolate chips and freeze for an hour

Step 12: Preheat the Oven to 175 degrees Celsius

Step 13: Bake cookies straight out of the freezer, for 12-15 minutes, on a baking sheet

Step 14: Cookies are done when they’re slightly crispy around the edges and still soft in the center

Step 15: Let the Chocolate Nutella Lava Cookies Recipe rest for about ten minutes before serving
