    Nutella Cups - I love Nutella and I love Cookies so this cookie cup in which smooth creamy Nutella is encased inside a crisp cookie cup exterior, is right up my street. In this recipe, a browned butter cookie hides a gooey Nutella filling making these the most delicious Cookie Cups ever!!

    3 Nutella Cups on a plate with Nutella oozing out of the middle

    Nutella Cups

    For this recipe, I used a browned butter cookie recipe for maximum flavour.

    Then rounds of Nutella are frozen and added to the middle of the Cookies in muffin tins.

    Then bake till crispy on the outside and goody in the middle.

    Tin

    I used a standard muffin tin and then spray with cooking oil.

    Mould the cookie dough into the tins and add the Nutella to the middle!

    Dough

    The dough itself is easy to make.

    It is a standard brown butter cookie dough that can be made with a stand or hand mixer or even a wooden bowl and spoon.

    Tips for making Nutella Cups

    Make sure that the cookie dough is properly sealed.

    You can use Biscoff or Caramel instead for a different flavour altogether!

    Ingredients

    Unsalted Butter - Browning the Butter brings out a deliciously nutty depth of flavour.

    Dark Muscavado Sugar - For a rich molasses flavour. Dark Brown also works.

    Oil - A neutral flavoured oil such as vegetable oil.

    Caster Sugar - Or Granulated.

    Egg - To bind and emulsify the ingredients.

    Milk - Again this is just to bind the ingredients. Water also works.

    Strong Bread Flour and Plain Flour - A combination of the two makes for chewier cookies which hold the nutella better.

    Nutella - Or any Hazlenut Chocolate spread.

    Salt - Just a pinch.

    Baking Powder and Bicarbonate of Soda - to add a slight lift.

    Chocolate - Finely chopped chocolate or chocolate chips are perfect here.

    How to brown Butter

    To brown butter, add cubed butter to a pot.

    Cook, stirring often, until it foams.

    Once the foaming subsides let it brown for 5–8 minutes over medium low heat.

    How to make them

    Line a baking tray with baking paper.

    Add 12 individual heaped teaspoons of Nutella on top of the baking paper. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

    12 Nutella blobs on a lined tray

    Grease a 12 hole muffin tin with butter or spray with oil.

    Brown the butter until it is a deep amber colour then set aside to cool in a heat proof bowl.

    Beat the sugars, oil, egg, milk and vanilla with the butter until combined.

    Add flours, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.

    Flour added to bowl of stand mixer

    Add the chocolate chips and mix till evenly distributed throughout the dough.
