_Sips coffee and gets ready to share my absolute favorite midnight guilty pleasure_
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the most indulgent, mouth-watering midnight snack that’ll make your taste buds dance – Deep Fried Nutella-Stuffed Cookie Dough Bites! Trust me, once you try these bad boys, you’ll be sneaking to the kitchen at midnight more often than you’d like to admit (don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone! 😉).
Y’all, I discovered this recipe during one of those can’t-sleep-must-eat nights, and honestly? It’s been a dangerous relationship ever since. But sometimes the best things in life are worth the extra workout, right?
What You’ll Need:
• 1 tube of refrigerated cookie dough
• 1 jar of Nutella (because duh!)
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Powdered sugar for dusting
• Your favorite ice cream for serving (optional, but who are we kidding?)
Now, here’s how the magic happens:
1. Cut your cookie dough into small chunks (about 1-inch pieces).
2. Here’s the fun part – flatten each piece and add a small dollop of Nutella in the center (resist eating the Nutella straight from the jar… or don’t, I’m not your mom 😏).
3. Carefully wrap the dough around the Nutella, sealing it completely.
4. Pop these babies in the freezer for 30 minutes (perfect time to scroll through TikTok!).

Now, back to the good stuff:
1. Heat oil to 350°F (if you don’t have a thermometer, drop a small piece of dough in – it should sizzle and float).
2. Carefully drop 2-3 balls at a time into the hot oil.
3. Fry until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
4. Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
Serve these heavenly bites warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and honey, you’ve got yourself a midnight snack worthy of the gods! The outside is perfectly crispy, and when you bite into it… oh. my. word. The warm, gooey cookie dough mixed with melted Nutella is simply _chef’s kiss_.
Pro tip: Make extra and hide them from your family. You’ll thank me later! 😈
