Four Ingredient Nutella Cookies
I was thinking about the three ingredient peanut butter cookie and then I had this brilliant idea to try it with Nutella. That is the kind of thought process you have when you are obsessed with the taste of Nutella. Since Nutella is sweeter and slightly less solid in form than peanut butter, the recipe had to be modified and became a four ingredient cookie. Nevertheless, it is a simple chocolate cookie with a crisp edge and chewy center.

So how does it taste?? Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI really, really want to make these. Now if I can just find that jar of Nutella that I've hidden from myself...LOL
ReplyDeleteAshley, they taste good. It is simply a chocolate cookie with the Nutella taste. All 3 of my children loved them so it is definitely something I will make again because it is so EASY!
ReplyDeleteThey sound good, are they chewy? I book marked these for the next time I have a cookie craving! :)
ReplyDeleteHey, I found your blog on Tasty Kitchen... I love Nutella and I love cookies. How could I NOT make these?

Hey ladies, I made these last weekend and they are awesome! So easy and the loved the texture, crispy on the outside, brownie like on the inside. May I have your permission to share on my blog, giving you the credit?! :)
ReplyDeleteBut of course! Sorry for the late reply...the sunny weather has kept us away from the computer over the weekend!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cookies. I love the simplicity. I am making mini cookies and turning those into sandwiches with raspberry preserves. YUMTASTIC!
ReplyDeleteI tried making these but they were dry and clumpy and then fell apart when cooked. I mixed ingredients by hand, was that my problem?
ReplyDeleteI think this depends on weather. I had to add about a tablespoon more of nutella one day myself as they seemed drier than the first time I made them. Sorry it didn't work for you. Thanks for visiting our blog!
ReplyDeleteSorry to be a downer, but I ran into the same problem of dry and crumbly even with the added tablespoon. Not sure where I went wrong??
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem, it was just dry balls of flour regardless of how much Nutella I added. Tried adding more liquids and it just got worse. Wasted a whole jar :c
ReplyDeleteSorry about Kelahfish! I don't know why the recipe works for some and not others. I wish you were my neighbor and then I could bring you some to try. Happy Cooking!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to comment that these cookies taste amazing! I have made them twice and I have the same dry and crumbling problem. I have a couple of thoughts. Your recipe says "blend" Did you mix by hand or did you use a mixer? What size egg did you use? If you use an Extra Large and others are using Large it may not be enough liquid for the recipe. Are you measuring a cup of Nutella or are you just using the entire jar?
ReplyDeleteJust curious. I will keep making them because my family is demanding them :) Thanks for sharing this!
Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI made these again today to see if I could help you out. The first time I made these cookies I used a mixer and a large egg. I do make sure to have a full 1 cup measurement of Nutella. There's not much left in the 13 oz. jar and you could probably get away with using the rest. I believe I posted before that I added an extra tablespoon once when it seemed a little too dry in the mixer.
I used a medium egg and mixed by hand today. It was a little drier I think because I couldn't mix as well by hand as my mixer does. However, the end product still tasted good.
It's funny how it bothers some that the mixture is crumbly. It doesn't look like chocolate chip cookie dough. Mine reminds me of my pie dough sometimes when a few crumbs are left in the bowl that I incorporate into the ball of dough.
My children love them too. I hope this helps you out.

It is crumbly, but once I started rolling, the dough came together just fine. I made mine a little smaller and will make little raspberry sandwiches with them for a baby shower. Thanks for sharing!!! Very delicious.
ReplyDeleteI had trouble with the dough being crumbly, too. I added the rest of the Nutella in the jar but that didn't help. I think a bigger egg or a little more egg white would probably have fixed it. The cookies tasted good they were just difficult to work with.
ReplyDeleteYou can always cut back the flour. I'm going to try with 3/4 c flour and see what happens.
