Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the most sinfully delicious midnight snack that’ll make your taste buds do the happy dance – Deep Fried Nutella-Stuffed Cookie Dough Bites! Trust me, your 2 AM cravings will never be the same.
Y’all, I discovered this recipe during one of those can’t-sleep nights when my sweet tooth was throwing a tantrum. And honey, let me tell you – it was worth every single calorie!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 tube of cookie dough (store-bought is fine, we’re not judging here!)
– 1 jar of Nutella (because duh!)
– 2 cups of vegetable oil
– 1 cup of powdered sugar
– Optional: vanilla ice cream (because why not go all out?)
Now, let’s get cooking!
1. Start by rolling your cookie dough into small balls (about 1-inch diameter). Make a little thumb indent in each ball – kind of like you’re making a tiny bowl. This is where the magic happens!
1. Drop a small spoonful of Nutella into each indent and seal it by pinching the dough around it. Roll it again to make sure it’s completely sealed. We don’t want any Nutella escaping during frying, ladies!

1. Heat your oil in a deep pan to 350°F (if you don’t have a thermometer, drop a tiny piece of dough in – if it sizzles and rises to the top, you’re good to go!)
1. Carefully drop 3-4 balls into the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan – we’re not running a dough ball party here! Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
1. Remove with a slotted spoon and let them cool on paper towels for a minute.
1. While still warm, roll these babies in powdered sugar. The contrast between the warm, gooey center and the sweet coating is absolutely divine!
Serve these bad boys warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you’re feeling extra indulgent. And honey, at midnight, we’re ALWAYS feeling extra!
Pro tip: Make extra because trust me, these disappear faster than your ex’s texts! 🤭
