📝 Preparation Steps
1
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
2
In a separate large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla, mixing well and scraping down the bowl as needed. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing until just combined after each addition.

Pour a layer of nonpareils or other sprinkles onto a large flat plate (or use a few different kinds of sprinkles on multiple plates). Scoop the dough into 20 portions, about 2 tablespoons each. Roll into balls, then roll half of the balls in nonpareils or sprinkles and arrange 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Using your thumb, make a small indentation in the center of each dough ball, pressing about three-quarters of the way down (do not press all the way to the baking sheet). Refrigerate until firm, about ⏱️ 1 hour.
4
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the cookies, rotating the pans halfway through, until the centers have puffed up slightly and the edges are set, 12 to ⏱️ 15 minutes. Using the back of a small measuring spoon, gently press the centers of the cookies to indent them again. Let cool ⏱️ 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then remove the cookies to a rack to cool completely.

Using 2 small spoons or a piping bag, fill the center of each cookie with about 1 teaspoon of Nutella. Sprinkle the filling of the undecorated cookies with nonpareils or sprinkles.
