Did you make any New Year’s Resolutions? If you did, eating healthier is probably one of them. And, I bet you’re doing really well and eating things like arugula and chia seeds and getting up early every day to exercise. I’m super proud of you! So, please don’t be mad at me for doing this…
Not only did I make soft and chewy Funfetti cookies….I also stuffed ‘em with an ooey gooey Nutella center. Plus, you only need 5 ingredients! That makes them totally irresistible. Upon taking one bite, the husband said, “Mmmm…you better lock these up.” He knows the way to my heart is complimenting my baked goods!
5 Ingredient Nutella-Stuffed Funfetti Cookies
Only 5 ingredients needed to make these ooey, gooey Funfetti cookies stuffed with globs of Nutella.
Author: Jennifer
Recipe type: Drop Cookies
Serves: 20
Ingredients
- 1 box of Pillsbury Funfetti cake mix
- 2 eggs
- Scant ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Approximately ½ cup Nutella (about 1 teaspoon per cookie)
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop teaspoon size balls of Nutella onto cookie sheet. Freeze for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the Funfetti mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Take a walnut sized ball of dough and place a frozen Nutella ball into the center. Roll the dough ball in your hands until it is smooth and no Nutella is exposed. Place on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in preheated oven for 9-10 minutes. Allow cookie to cool on cookie sheet – they will look too soft at first, but do not overbake!
Notes
Idea for freezing Nutella centers from Bake at 350.

Not mad at you for sharing these– these look too good not to share
Thanks, Elizabeth!
Hello yummyiness!!!! I’m going to share this with my bestie Kim. She’s a nutella addict.
They are so good, Melissa! My husband keeps snatching them and making happy, groaning noises – I think they may be his favorite cookie that I’ve ever made!
So he’s being a cookie monster. Lol! I have a couple recipes on my blog & would love to do more but I’m creatively challenged in that department. I just love seeing recipes on blogs. The pics are always so great.
He’s always a cookie monster
I have more trouble coming up with creative cookie ideas than recipes! I don’t think I could post new cookies 3 times a week 
That I totally get! That’s why I’m trying to think of other things I could do to keep my reader’s interested. You have a fantastic blog & you are so creative. Just keep doing what you’re doing
These are super genius!! You had me at chewy funfetti cookies. BONUS that they’re stuffed!
Thanks, Carrie! I love Funfetti – it is so happy and fun! I couldn’t help but add Nutella, which makes everything better
What a Funfetti way to start the New Year! Looks great!
Thanks, Kim! Comments with puns are the best!
Oh, man. I quasi-committed to eating better this year. Why must you tempt me so with these yummies?!
Being only 5 ingredients really pushes it over the edge. Oh, well… nothing like adding a few more minutes on the treadmill won’t fix.
Haha – sorry, Mike! If you just have one, that’s not so bad…IF you can have just one…
These sound yummy, simple and are cute too:) Love a cookie with a surprise inside!
Thanks, Sue! My husband LOVES them
Pretty sure these were made for me! Nutella obsessed!!
Me too!
I’ve made some other fun Nutella things before (like Nutella fudge), but I have to say that these may be my favorite – they are just SO easy and absolutely addictive!
woah! these look so incredibly soft and delicious. I love that these cookies involve nutella and sprinkles (well, funfetti)!!
They are so good! My husband was devouring them like crazy. I mean, how could the love child of Funftti and Nutella not be super delicious?
These look like way too much fun to eat!
Thanks, Chung-Ah!
Two of my favorite things in one! I’m ADDICTED to Nutella. These look so delicious.
Nutella is the absolute best, isn’t it!?
You did NOT just stuff Nutella in these cookies. No. It’s not true and I won’t look at it and you’re evil.
(Okay, so I just stuffed some Nutella in chocolate chip cookies last night and then I died. So good!)
I don’t think Miss Nutella Brownies can talk about being evil
I’m DYING to try those – I think I might have enough Nutella left over actually…hmmm…my afternoon plans may have just changed!
Two of my favorite things combined into one! I’d love it if you stopped by my weekly link party and shared this. http://thelifeofjenniferdawn.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-little-bird-told-me-link-party-24.html
Thanks, Jennifer! I’ll check it out
Hi Jennifer!
These cookies are amazing! I am still fairly new to the blogging world and have a cookie blog as well: http://www.cookieclinic.blogspot.com. Would you mind if I featured your cookies next week? I will link back to your site. These are too good not to share!
Kelly
Hi Kelly! I’d love to be featured! Feel free to pull an image from the web, or shoot me an email if you want a high res version. As long as you link back and don’t copy the entire recipe, it’s all good to me
Let me know if you need anything else and I’ll be sure to check out your blog too!
Thanks, Jennifer! Look for them in the next week or two!
Will do!
These look amazing, thanks for the recipe! Do you know if you can freeze the nutella ahead of time?
Hi Courtney – since you technically aren’t even supposed to refrigerate Nutella, I wouldn’t store it in the freezer for any real length of time. But, it freezes quite fast for this recipe – just put it in the freezer, make the dough and then it should be ready soon!
What do you mean when you say “scant 1/3 cup vegetable oil”? And can I use a different oil, say, coconut oil?
Hi Amy! It just means a little less than 1/3 cup. Coconut oil is quite different and solid at room temperature, so I would stick with vegetable oil. Hope that helps!
I’d absolutely love to try these, but I don’t believe Pillsbury Funfetti cake mix is sold in Canada. I’ve never seen any Pillsbury cake mix products, just the pre-mixed stuff in the tubes. I just want to clarify that any old box cake mix will do?
Hi Sabrina! I haven’t tried it with other mixes, but I think it would act exactly the same, so experiment away!
If you wanted the Funfetti look, you could use a white cake mix and add multi-colored sprinkles. Hope that helps!
I figured as much but I thought I’d double check! Many thanks!
just tried the recipe and Loved it
thanks for sharing

So glad you liked it!
My first time, I had to make 2 batches in 2 days because these were such a hit! My fiance loves them and he isn’t even a huge fan of sweets. When I make them for a crowd, they are the first thing gone. Thanks for posting!
Thanks so much for letting me know, Ali! I love to hear when people like my recipes
Aww, Melissa, thank you. The positive feedback means so much to me
