Ever feel the crunch of making something delicious without blowing your budget? As a busy mom, broke student, or someone simply juggling life’s demands, you’re probably nodding along. Under $2/serving! That’s right—our Gooey Nutella-Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies are both decadent and financially friendly. Just because we’re penny-pinching doesn’t mean our taste buds need to suffer.

What Makes This Special

• Under $2/serving!
• Family-friendly and picky-eater approved
• Zero fancy kitchen gear needed
• Leftovers are even better the next day
• Easy to meal prep or double for later

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Nutella

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend this into the creamed mixture.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough, flatten slightly, add a teaspoon of Nutella in the center, and then wrap the dough around it to contain the filling.
7. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving ample space for spreading.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Keeping It Real

• Baking these cookies is a sweet relief from the daily hustle. Just like with side gigs, the effort you put into crafting these treats has a palpable reward.
• As your cookies bake, why not maximize your time and earn some extra cash with a side hustle? It’s all about making life delicious and profitable.
• Embrace the mess. Cookie dough under your nails and Nutella smudges on your apron? Totally worth it when a potential side gig could turn your passions into paychecks.
