Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This 4-ingredient Nutella cookies recipe is beginner-friendly and great for quick sweet cravings. It’s perfect for anyone who wants chewy cookies fast without a big mess. And it blends well with the usual snack bars, scones, and muffins too!

In a world of communities, Nutella is the main ingredient. It adds not just flavor, but a bit of calcium and iron too. You can swap it with chocolate hazelnut spread or even peanut butter.

There’s no need for dairy or special tools like a stand mixer. Just mix, scoop, and bake with basic kitchen tools like a large mixing bowl and spatula. You can even involve kids using a tablet to follow along. It’s also easy to make egg-free or gluten-free with simple swaps.

Ingredients

Listed below are all the ingredients you will need:

• Unsalted butter
• Nutella
• Large egg
• All-purpose flour

See the recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Prepare the Oven and Pan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line baking sheets with parchment paper or use a nonstick cookie sheet.

Make the Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, mix together the butter, Nutella, and egg until smooth.

Add the flour and stir until a dough forms and is well combined.

Shape and Bake

Using a cookie or ice cream scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

Lightly flatten each cookie using a fork.

Bake for 6–8 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.

Let cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm!

Substitutions & Variations

• Ingredient Swap
  No Nutella? Try any chocolate-hazelnut spread or even peanut butter for a twist.
  You can mix in some old-fashioned oats, chocolate chips, or even M&M for fun add-ins. Jars of caramel or mini biscuits can also work!
  
• Variation
  Scoop the cookie dough balls using a wooden spoon or spatula and place them on a baking tray lined with a silpat mat. Then bake until the tops look set. You’ll get that perfect chewy texture with these tricks every time!
  
• Mistake to Avoid
  Avoid overbaking - they’re done even if they look soft!
  Watch for egg streaks if not mixed well.
  
• Storage Tips
  • These cookies freeze well for up to 2 months. Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temp for 3–4 days.
  • If freezing dough, shape into small round balls first, then freeze.
