Add the eggs 1 at time, beating after each addition to incorporate. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated.
• Divide the dough into 18 equal mounds, each about 2 tablespoons, and flatten slightly with wet hands. Put 2 teaspoons of the chilled chocolate-hazelnut spread in the center of each piece of dough, then press and pinch the cookie dough around the spread to form round and sealed balls. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Put 6 chilled dough balls onto each prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 20 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack or plate and serve warm if you'd like. When the baking sheets have cooled completely, bake the remaining 6 dough balls on one of the sheets, then let cool slightly.
• Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
