Oh. My. Goodness. Ladies (and gents), let me share my absolute favorite midnight guilty pleasure that has my taste buds doing a happy dance every single time! I stumbled upon this heavenly creation during one of those can’t-sleep nights, and now I’m totally obsessed.
Meet my Nutella-Stuffed Cookie Dough Bites – the snack that’ll make you forget all about your late-night diet promises (sorry not sorry! 😉).
Here’s what you’ll need, bestie:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup softened butter
– 1/3 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup white sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 3 tbsp milk
– 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
– Nutella
– A pinch of salt
– Your favorite sprinkles (because why not?)
Now, let me walk you through this deliciousness step by step:
1. First, heat-treat that flour! Spread it on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes. We’re being safe here, queens! Let it cool completely.
1. In a bowl, cream together your butter and sugars until they’re as smooth as your favorite silk pajamas.
1. Add vanilla extract and milk, mix until combined.
1. Gradually add in your cooled flour and salt, mixing until you get that perfect cookie dough consistency.
1. Fold in those mini chocolate chips like you’re tucking them into bed.
Y’all, if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more mouth-watering treats that’ll make your midnight cravings worth staying up for!
1. Now for the fun part! Take small portions of dough, flatten them, add a tiny dollop of Nutella in the center, and roll them into balls.
1. Roll these babies in sprinkles if you’re feeling extra (which I always am 💁♀️).
1. Pop them in the fridge for about 15 minutes to firm up.
And voilà! You’ve just created bite-sized pieces of heaven that’ll have you sneaking to the kitchen at 2 AM like a ninja.
Pro tip: Make a double batch because trust me, these disappear FAST. My husband tried to hide some for himself last week – caught him red-handed!
Can we talk about how perfect these are for those late-night Netflix binges? Or when you’re up finishing that work presentation and need a little sugary motivation?
