Before I have ever made my 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies, I never much believed that it was possible to make cookies with such a few ingredients. How could it be?

But then I was proven wrong and yes, it was indeed possible to make the loveliest cookies with only a few ingredients. In fact, because there are only very few ingredients – the flavor is more concentrated (pure chocolate bliss in these Nutella Cookies) not to mention – it becomes so simple to make too!

I have been wanting to try making these Nutella cookies for the longest time but for some reason never got the chance to do so.

Since today is World Nutella Day (who knew there is such a day?) I thought I ought to give it a try….after all, I have some Nutella sitting on my countertop and waiting to be enjoyed.

Nutella Cookies

The verdict – these Nutella Cookies are heavenly!!! Not only are they easy to make, they are so yummy too and amazingly not overpoweringly sweet! 

Moist, chewy and fudgy – pure chocolate deliciousness at it best! You really ought to try this!

I will give credit where credit is due….for this recipe I am totally indebted to Kirbie’s Craving. I have adapted her Easiest Nutella Cookies for this recipe. And I would say — it is a total winner!

FOR FULL RECIPE & INSTRUCTIONS and to PRINT, SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW.

What are the INGREDIENTS for 4-Ingredient Nutella Cookies? 

  • Nutella – use the original nutella for better flavor and not any copycat hazelnut spread. This was tested on the original nutella that’s why.
  • Egg – preferably use room temperature egg.
  • Flour – all-purpose unbleached flour.
  • Chocolate Chips – nutella is already sweet so semi-sweet chocolate chips work better for me.

How do you make 4-Ingredient Nutella Cookies?  Step-by-step instructions follow.

Preheat the oven to 350F.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the nutella, flour and egg.

Using a wooden spoon, mix until the dough comes together and no flour lumps remain.

Stir in chocolate chips until they are all incorporated into the dough.

For the next step, I used a rounded tablespoon to help shape the cookies into dough balls. It’s actually a rounded measuring tablespoon for a tea pot so it’s slightly larger than your usual measuring spoon but the latter should work well too. I managed to make about 18 dough balls.

Place the cookie balls on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. I pressed the cookie balls slightly to flatten them a little bit. I think I will just leave them rounded next time. If you want perfectly rounded edges on your cookies, then smooth out the cracks on the cookies. I wasn’t bothered so I just left it as is, cracks and all!

Bake for about 10 minutes. Cookies would still be slightly soft but that’s fine. Leave in the cookie sheet for about 3-4 minutes or until it has hardened just a little bit to make it easier to transfer to a wire rack. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack until completely set.

Enjoy the cookies while still warm-ish and the choco chips are still soft and quite meltingly tender.  Or serve it after it has totally cooled too – the cookies still retain their yummy chewiness! Chocolate perfection defined!

TIPS & TRICKS
I pressed the cookie balls slightly to flatten them a little bit as the photos show. I think I will just leave them rounded next time. The flattening is optional. If you want perfectly rounded edges on your cookies, then smooth out the cracks on the cookies. I wasn’t bothered so I just left it as is, cracks and all!

    My 11 yr old had fun making these. I made one modification to add protein which is 1/2 cup almond flour and a tablespoon of chocolate almond milk. Yum!

    Making these and adding tiny jet puff marshmallows with the chocolate chips. Plan on using a cookie cutter to make them in Holiday form, you think since you mentioned to cook them in balls I should modify the baking temperature? Thanks

    • December 19, 2013 / 8:50 pm

      I really don't know if that would make a huge difference if you meant lowering the temp. I'd say try it as is. Thanks for stopping by.

    I made these for my holiday trays this year, and while it was a mistake that I quadrupled instead of doubling the batch, I'm glad that's how it turned out. These are amazing!

    It's a very easy resipe and I tried it with a copy product of Nutella, and the result was not good. They melted into one big mass and I suspect it was the copy product, so I think you should be aware of how oily a product you use if you don't use real Nutella.

    • February 13, 2014 / 2:40 am

      Thanks for the tip, Mille! I have only tried the original brand so we are thankful for the info. Thanks for stopping by.
