- 5 ingredients

- They freeze well too!
5 Ingredients Needed
- Nutella – or other similar chocolate hazelnut spread
- Chocolate chips – Or swap white chocolate chips or even mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
- Nope you’re not missing it – there is no baking soda or baking powder in this recipe – that’s on purpose – you don’t need it!
How to Make Nutella Cookies
- In a large mixing bowl, combine egg, sugar, Nutella, and flour. I recommend using a hand mixer to evenly combine all of the ingredients together.
- Add the chocolate chips, saving just a bit for topping later on.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop desired size cookie dough balls and place on the cookie sheet.
- Bake until they’ve lost their glossy texture and look a little crackly on top.
Storing Cookies
Nutella cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container for four days at room temperature. You can freeze Nutella cookies in an airtight container for up to two months.
Expert Tips
- These don’t flatten properly without a little help, so use the bottom of a glass or another flat object to flatten the tops of each cookie before putting them into the oven.
- If you’re on a budget, there’s no need to splurge on the name brand. Generic chocolate hazelnut spread will do just as well – your guests won’t even know the difference.
- Add nuts with the chocolate chips or a pinch of sea salt on top for a nice salty sweet finish.
- Want an extra chocolatey cookie? Make Nutella stuffed cookies by freezing 1 tablespoon balls of Nutella and wrapping them into the cookie dough before baking.
FAQs
You need to make sure and flatten these before they go into the oven. Because there is no baking soda or granulated sugar, the cookies will not spread on their own.
