Why you’ll love it 😋

Cookie dough, but make it snackable and a little bit dangerous. Chewy edges, soft centre, and that gooey choc-hazelnut middle. These disappear fast, so hide a couple like it’s self-care.

Method ⏲️

Chewy cookie cups baked in a muffin tin and filled with choc hazelnut goodness.

Step 1: Prep & Preheat

Preheat your oven to 175°C and generously grease a 12-hole muffin tin, making sure to coat the sides well. In a large bowl, whisk together 115 g melted butter, ¼ cup white sugar, and ½ cup brown sugar until combined.

Step 2: Mix Your Dough

Add 1 egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract to your butter mixture and whisk until smooth. Roughly chop ¾ cup of your chocolate block into chunks and set aside. In a separate bowl, stir together 1½ cups plain flour, 1 tsp cornflour, ½ tsp baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt. Fold your dry ingredients into your wet mixture until just combined - don't overmix. Fold through the chopped chocolate block.

Step 3: Fill & Bake

Drop about 1 rounded tablespoon of dough into each muffin cup and press down gently with the back of a spoon to flatten and spread it out to the edges. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden. The centres should look slightly underdone, but they'll firm up as they cool. Let them cool completely in the tin before removing.

Step 4: Load It Up

Once cooled, run a thin knife around the edges and gently twist to pop them out. Spoon a generous dollop of choc hazelnut spread into the centre of each one and scatter over your chopped walnuts. Try not to eat them all at once!
