How many servings would this recipe do?

This delicious and easy Nutella cookie recipe could make up to 12-16 cookies.

Can I use melted chocolate instead of Nutella?

Yes, you can. Whatever chocolate you have in your pantry or fridge, you can use it. You will just miss that delicious hazelnut flavor you get from Nutella.

Will this recipe work if I put smooth peanut butter instead of Nutella?

Yes, for sure, that would be equally delicious.
