Nutella Filled Brownie Cookies
With crispy edges and chewy, chocolate centres, these Nutella Filled Brownie Cookies are the ultimate fudgy and decadent cookie, filled with the fluffiest Nutella frosting. It’s the perfect sandwich Cookie Recipe, with just a 6 minute cook time!
What are Brownie Cookies
Brownie cookies are a quick and easy cookie that have been made with a cookie dough that’s pretty close to a brownie batter. They’re a combination of 2 of my favourite baked treats and when you sandwich them together with a delicious frosting, they become a Brownie Sandwich Cookie. That’s two for the price of one!
When I first started trialling this recipe, I had to make 3 batches in just as many days. Partly because they were just so delicious, and partly because everyone kept eating them and I couldn’t get any photos!

How to Make Super Fudgy Brownie Cookies

Tips for making the best Brownie Cookies
My Nutella Filled Brownie Cookies are super easy to make. However, like all of my cookie recipes, this one comes with my top tips for creating the perfect Brownie Cookies:
- Use the best quality ingredients for the ultimate chocolate indulgence.
- Beat the eggs, sugars and salt for the full 8 minutes, to get the mixture lovely and light.
- Use a small ice cream scoop to easily scoop out the batter -it gives evenly-sized cookies.
- As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, use a round cookie cutter to scoot the cookies into neat circles.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before filling.
- Make the Nutella frosting while the cookies cool.
- Use a 1M nozzle to pipe the Nutella frosting onto the cookies -it just makes them so much prettier!
How to Store Nutella Filled Brownie Cookies
Once filled with Nutella Frosting, I store these Brownie Cookies in the fridge for 3 days. Unfilled, they can be left in an airtight container at room temperature.
