Nutella Stuffed Red Velvet Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Line a small baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Transfer nutella to a large ziplock or piping bag fit with a ½-inch pastry tip. Pipe 2 teaspoons rounds of nutella on paper and freeze until very firm, at least one hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine red velvet cake mix and baking powder. Whisk to combine.
• Add eggs and oil and combine. Fold in chocolate chips.
• Using a tablespoon measure or one tablespoon-capacity ice cream scoop, scoop a tablespoon of dough and place one portion of frozen nutella atop.
• Enclose with an additional 1 tablespoon of cookie dough, roll into a ball, and place on prepared baking sheet.
• Repeat with remaining dough and nutella, spacing cookies 2 inches apart and chilling dough or nutella as necessary to keep firm.
• Transfer to oven and bake 10 minutes, until just baked through and slightly crisp on edges.

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl.
• Beat together the brown sugar and butter in another large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at time, beating after each addition to incorporate. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated.
• Divide the dough into 18 equal mounds, each about 2 tablespoons, and flatten slightly with wet hands. Put 2 teaspoons of the chilled chocolate-hazelnut spread in the center of each piece of dough, then press and pinch the cookie dough around the spread to form round and sealed balls. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Put 6 chilled dough balls onto each prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 20 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack or plate and serve warm if you'd like. When the baking sheets have cooled completely, bake the remaining 6 dough balls on one of the sheets, then let cool slightly.
• Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Make the filling: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the filling at a time onto the parchment so that you have 12 dollops. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
• Make the cookies: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Whisk together the granulated sugar, butter, buttermilk, food coloring, vanilla and eggs in another bowl. Fold the flour mixture into the sugar mixture with a rubber spatula until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes (it will still be soft).
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Coat your hands generously with confectioners' sugar and scoop a heaping tablespoon of the cookie dough into your hand. Put one of the frozen cream cheese dollops in the middle of the dough and place another tablespoon of the dough on top of the cream cheese. Shape the dough around it to completely enclose the cream cheese, and then roll to coat in the confectioners' sugar. Repeat with the remaining dough and cream cheese, coating your hands in confectioners' sugar as needed.
• Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies are firm around the edges and can be easily lifted with a spatula, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the trays for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
• Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time. Then beat in the buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla and red food coloring. Once combined, add the dry ingredients to wet. Mix until thoroughly combined.
• Onto a parchment lined sheet tray, drop batter using an ice cream scoop, forming 2-inch round circles.
• Bake for 10 minutes, until baked through. Cookies should be cake-like and light. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the Cream Cheese Frosting:.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together until smooth. Add the sugar and on low speed, beat until incorporated. Increase the speed to high and mix until very light and fluffy.
• Spread the cream cheese frosting between 2 cooled cookies and roll the edges in finely chopped pecans, if desired.
