Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop out 8 equal portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe about 1-2 tablespoons of Nutella onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Notes
Store cookie sandwiches in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For best texture, enjoy within 24 hours. You can also freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 3 months—bake straight from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
