Nutella Lava Cookies Recipe

A few days ago I posted this picture of Nutella Lava Cookies that I made and I got some really good feedback so I figured, why not share with the world how I made them?

I was pretty happy with how they turned out as above considering it was my first attempt. But you know what they say, practice makes perfect and I learned from a few mistakes on how to tackle the tricky bits the second time around! So, without further adieu, here is how to make this yummy deliciousness! 
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 tsp cornstarch 
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 eggs

 



Method
  1. Take a jar of Nutella and two small spoons and start spooning out 25 little blobs of Nutella on parchment paper which has been placed onto a large pan.  The Nutella can be a little tricky to work with so it's okay if it doesn't look perfect. Just try to get them as ball-like as possible!
  2. Place the tray into the freezer for 1 hour to freeze. In the meantime, make the cookie batter!
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, cornstarch and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, whip up the butter until light and fluffy. 
  5. Add in the brown sugar and whip some more.
  6. Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract  and then gradually add cocoa powder until it becomes a mousse like consistency. 
  7. Add the flour mixture little by little until it's completely combined. 
  8. Add the chocolate chips and fold them into the the batter.
  9. Roll the batter into little balls and place them on a separate sheet of parchment paper. It doesn't matter if there's not a bunch of space in between them as you won't be baking them quite yet! 
  10. Then taking your thumb, press a little indent into the middle of the balls as shown below.
  11. If the hour is up, take out your frozen Nutella and start peeling them off of the parchment paper and into the little indent. It's very important to work as quickly as possible as the Nutella will start to melt at room temperature and with the warmth of your hands. After placing the Nutella into the middle, work the surrounding dough around the Nutella until it's a ball again with the Nutella in the middle. 
  12. Place the tray into the freezer and freeze again for an hour.
  13. Preheat the oven to 350 F/ 180 C.
  14. After the hour is up, bake the cookies for 12 minutes.
  15. Let them cool for 10 minutes and you're done!  
If you use this recipe let me know how you liked it! Hope you enjoyed. Happy baking!

Review: Bleach London Rosé Hair Dye & Shampoo and Conditioner

Image
If you follow me on  Instagram  (if you don't you should) you would have seen that in the last couple of months I've gone from having blonde hair to having pink hair, back to being blonde, to having pink hair again and it's just been a long cycle!  After using several temporary pink hair dyes, I have FINALLY found one that does not stain my blonde hair!  Because of the job I have, I can't have super fun colored hair so when I went on vacation for weeks this summer, I wanted to take advantage of the freedom and quench my thirst for fun hair. It had to be gone by the time I was back in work so I needed to find one that wouldn't stain and stay forever.  After extensive research and asking others for help, I finally found a candy floss pastel pink hair dye that was EXACTLY what I wanted! That hair dye was  Bleach London in Rosé  which is only €8.99 in Boots and every so often part of their 3 for 2 offer! With the help of my BFF, we applied about a...

Kylie Cosmetics Metal Matte and Gloss Review

Image
 I know I'm the worst blogger ever after not posting anything for 2 months. ( I know I suck.) Things got so busy and hectic with exams and work that with what little time I had away from that I used to eat, sleep and relax. That being said, I hope I can make up for it with this exciting review of Kylie Cosmetic's metal matte lipstick and gloss! I was pretty skeptical thinking all of the hype and fuss was about the name but I was really amazed.  The first one I'll be reviewing is my favorite of the two, the Metal Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade Heir. It's a shade like no other I've really seen before and what really made me want it was Kylie's pic she posted wearing it to Coachella: Just look at the way it glitters in the sunlight, it's so beautiful.  First thing's first, the packaging is amazing. It's in a glass like bottle and the wand is a perfect little heart shaped ideal for application especially on the upper lip...

How to Travel Like a Pro

Image
I've done my share of travelling in my short 18 years of being alive. My first flight was when I was 4 weeks old and I've been flying pretty regularly ever since. Things have changed in terms of travel in the last 18 years and from my personal experience, I've learned what to do and what not to do when it comes to travelling, especially when it comes to long haul 6+ hour flights/ journey's. Carry- On When it comes to a carry on, I like to keep it nice and light. There's nothing worse than lugging around a bunch of heavy giant bags when you're navigating around airports and trying to board a plane. I've also had my fair share of trying to squeeze a bag into the overhead carrier, which is why I like to keep it small and compact when I can.  Most airlines allow you one personal item, such as a purse or briefcase and a carry on suitcase like a duffle bag or small suitcase. I like to use a big purse to keep all of my personal items in. If you're checki...
