Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks, softened
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips 1 bag

For the Nutella Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese 1 package, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 0.5 cup white chocolate chips melted
  • 0.5 cup Nutella

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cookies

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Set this dry mixture aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and packed light brown sugar. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Add the salt, pure vanilla extract, and large eggs to the butter mixture. Continue to beat on low speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Gradually add the sifted flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly soft.
  • Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Ensure cookies are fully cooled before filling.

Make the Nutella Cream Cheese Filling

  • While the cookies are cooling, prepare the Nutella Cream Cheese Filling.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Add the melted white chocolate chips and Nutella to the cream cheese mixture. Continue to mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the filling is uniform.
  • For best results, let the filling sit in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly before assembling the sandwiches.

Assemble the Cookie Sandwiches

  • Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the Nutella Cream Cheese Filling onto the flat side of half of the cookies.
  • Gently place the remaining cookies on top of the filled halves, pressing down slightly to create a sandwich. Repeat with all cookies.
  • Refrigerate the assembled cookie sandwiches for at least 20 minutes to allow the filling to stiffen slightly, which makes them easier to handle and eat.
  • Serve the Nutella cookie sandwiches at room temperature for the best texture and flavor. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the filling before adding the second cookie, or drizzle with melted chocolate. These cookies are best enjoyed within 3-4 days when stored properly in the refrigerator.
