Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the most sinfully delicious midnight snack that’ll make your taste buds dance – Deep Fried Nutella-Stuffed Cookie Dough Bites! Trust me, this recipe is worth every calorie, and I won’t judge you for sneaking into the kitchen at 2 AM to make these bad boys.
First things first, let’s gather our ingredients (while trying not to wake up the entire household):
For the cookie dough:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated because, duh, food safety!)
– 1/2 cup softened butter
– 1/3 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
– Nutella (because why not?)
For frying:
– Vegetable oil
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– Powdered sugar for dusting
Now, let me spill the tea on how to make these heavenly bites:
1. First, heat-treat your flour by microwaving it for 1 minute, stirring halfway. Let it cool completely. (Safety first, sweeties! 💁♀️)
1. Mix the softened butter with both sugars until creamy. Add vanilla extract and milk, then fold in the cooled flour and salt. Stir in those mini chocolate chips. The dough should be firm enough to roll.
1. Here’s where the magic happens! Take about a tablespoon of dough, flatten it, add a small dollop of Nutella in the center, and roll it into a ball. Pop these babies in the freezer for 30 minutes.

1. Now for the fun part! Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Set up your dredging station: flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
1. Roll each frozen ball in flour, dip in egg, then coat with panko. (Try to keep one hand dry, unless you want to end up looking like you’ve been wrestling with a flour monster!)
1. Fry these golden beauties for about 2-3 minutes until they’re perfectly bronzed. Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
Serve these babies warm, and watch as the Nutella oozes out when you take that first bite. It’s literally food porn, y’all! 🤤
Pro tip: Keep some milk nearby, because you’re gonna need it!
Okay, real talk – these aren’t exactly health food, but sometimes you just need to treat yourself! And let’s be honest, diet rules don’t apply after midnight anyway, right? 😏
