Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups Plain Flour/ All Purpose Flour/ Maida refer notes
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 cup (113 gms) Butter Chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup (80 gms) Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1/4-1/2 cup Hazelnut Spread (or filling of your choice)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sieve together flour and cocoa powder.
  • Add chilled, cubed butter and rub into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Pour in condensed milk and mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Roll about 1 tsp (18 g) of dough into balls, place on the prepared baking sheet, and press the back of a spoon into the center to create a well.
  • Bake for 9–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  • If the cookies puff up while warm, gently press the center again with the back of a spoon.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack, then fill the wells with Nutella, dulce de leche, or any filling of your choice.

Notes

  • Butter: Use chilled, cubed unsalted butter to help the dough hold shape.
  • Flour: If the dough feels sticky, add 1–2 tsp extra flour.
  • Filling: Soft fillings like Nutella or dulce de leche are best added after baking; chill briefly if stacking.
  • Shaping option: Instead of rolling the dough into balls, place it between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a rectangle. Shape the dough into a log (like a cylinder), wrap in parchment, and chill until firm. Once chilled, slice the log into round cookie discs and bake as directed.
  • Make ahead: Unfilled cookie dough balls freeze well; bake straight from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes to baking time.
  • Variations: Try adding white chocolate chips, cacao nibs, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for a fun twist.
