Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies with Nutella Stuffing

Chocolate chip with Nutella filling

  I have a sweet tooth as everyone knows. This is my all time favourite years even before I started blogging. I got this recipe from Hot Chocolate Hits which I googled online. Of course when you mentioned about chocolate cookie, you have to compare it with the best chocolate cookie, right? I decided to go back to my old recipe book and get this out and give it another try to see which recipe is better.

Cookies ready!

  Although the recipe recommended to chill in the fridge, I find out that compared to the best chocolate cookie the texture before baking is hard enough to bake it straightaway. So I forgo the chilling part. This chocolate cookie compared to the best chocolate cookie, it felt more chocolaty. If you ask me which one is better? I will say it's up to your preference. I have friends telling me the best chocolate chip cookie is better however Kev and I prefer this recipe. Enjoy!
