Ingredients You’ll Need

Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.

227 g unsalted butter, softened
200 g granulated sugar
220 g packed brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
315 g all-purpose flour
65 g unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
0.5 teaspoon salt
170 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
120 g Nutella
120 g marshmallow fluff or marshmallow creme

Let’s Get Started

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. If your kitchen is warm, chill the Nutella and marshmallow fluff slightly to make them easier to handle.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy. Proper creaming creates a soft, tender cookie texture.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten slightly in your palm. Add a small teaspoon of Nutella and a small teaspoon of marshmallow fluff to the center. Carefully wrap the dough around the filling, sealing the edges completely to prevent leakage.
Place the filled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten the tops if needed.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Do not overbake; they will continue to firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. The centers will stay gooey while the edges set beautifully.

Servings and Pairing

This recipe makes about 20–24 large cookies, depending on size. Serve warm with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

Variations

For extra texture, add chopped toasted hazelnuts to the dough. You can also swirl additional Nutella on top before baking for a decorative finish. For a slightly lighter sweetness, reduce the marshmallow filling by half.

Storage Tips

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. To keep them extra soft, place a slice of bread in the container. Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months, or freeze unbaked stuffed dough balls and bake from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the baking time.

FAQs

How do I prevent the filling from leaking?

Make sure the dough fully seals around the Nutella and marshmallow. Chilling the filled dough balls for 20–30 minutes before baking can also help.

Can I use mini marshmallows instead of fluff?

You can, but marshmallow fluff creates a smoother, gooier center.

Why are my cookies spreading too much?

Your butter may have been too soft. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps maintain thick cookies.

Can I make smaller cookies?

Yes. Use smaller portions of filling and reduce baking time by 1–2 minutes.

Final Thoughts

Marshmallow Nutella chocolate cookies are the ultimate chocolate lover’s dream—rich, gooey, and layered with flavor. With their soft centers and molten filling, they’re guaranteed to impress anyone who takes a bite. Bake a batch for your next gathering, and watch them disappear fast.
