_Rolls up sleeves_ Ladies (and gentlemen), let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight guilty pleasure that’ll make your taste buds dance and your sweet tooth sing – my infamous Nutella-Stuffed Cookie Dough Bites!
Y’all, I can’t even count how many times this recipe has saved me during those late-night cravings when nothing else would do. The best part? No baking required! _winks_
Let’s get down to business, shall we?
You’ll need:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated for food safety)
– 1/2 cup softened butter
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
– Nutella
– Sea salt for sprinkling (trust me on this one!)
First things first, honey – we need to heat-treat that flour because nobody’s got time for tummy troubles! Microwave it for about 1 minute, stirring every 15 seconds until it reaches 165°F. Let it cool completely (I know, patience isn’t my strong suit either 😅).

Now, back to our midnight masterpiece! Cream together the butter and sugars until they’re as smooth as silk. Add in the vanilla and milk, mixing until combined. Gradually stir in the cooled flour and fold in those mini chocolate chips. The hardest part? Not eating it all right then and there!
Here’s where the magic happens: Take about a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it, pop a small dollop of Nutella in the center, and wrap the dough around it. Roll into a ball and sprinkle with a tiny bit of sea salt. Repeat until you’ve used up all the dough (or eaten half of it – no judgment here! 💁♀️).
Pop these babies in the fridge for about 15 minutes to firm up, and voilà! You’ve just made the most incredible midnight snack ever. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge, if they even last that long!
Real talk – these are totally addictive, and I may or may not have eaten four while writing this recipe (okay, it was five). Drop a comment below and let me know if you tried these little pieces of heaven! Did you add your own twist? I’m dying to hear about it!
