These Nutella marshmallow cookies are the kind of dessert that looks innocent until you pull one apart and the middle turns soft, melty, and almost too tempting to share.
They bake up with golden cookie edges, a rich chocolate-hazelnut center, and gooey marshmallow tucked inside for that cozy s’mores-style bite without needing a campfire.
What you’ll need
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup Nutella
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- Crushed graham crackers, optional
How it comes together
Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until soft and smooth.
Mix in the egg and vanilla.
Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop a little dough into your hand, flatten it slightly, then add a small spoonful of Nutella and a few mini marshmallows in the center.
Cover with more dough and gently seal the edges.
Roll in crushed graham crackers if you want that extra s’mores-style finish.
Place on a lined baking sheet and chill for about 20 minutes.
Bake until the edges are golden and the centers still look soft.
Let them cool for a few minutes before pulling one open.
The best part
The magic is in that first break. The cookie edges are soft and chewy, the Nutella turns warm and glossy, and the marshmallow melts into little gooey pockets that stretch slightly as you pull the cookie apart.
It tastes like a chocolate chip cookie, a s’more, and a Nutella dessert all tucked into one warm bite.
A little note from my kitchen
This one feels like the kind of cookie you make when you want something playful but still cozy. Sometimes I like to add a few extra marshmallows on top right after baking so they soften without disappearing completely. These are especially good slightly warm, when the center is still melty. Would you eat these with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream?
