Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and turn out perfectly golden brown.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use an electric mixer to blend them until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Next, add in the Nutella, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, baking soda, baking powder, and flour. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and Kraft Mallow Bits. This step adds texture and bursts of flavor to your cookies.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave enough space between each cookie, as they will spread while baking.
Bake in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Now, you’re ready to indulge!
