Three Ingredient Nutella Cookies
Got nutella? Check. Flour? Check. Egg? Check. Alright, now you have everything you need to make these delicious three ingredient nutella cookies.
After I made these four ingredient nutella brownies a while back, I’ve been wanting to make a nutella cookie with the same concept. I tried a few recipes but they didn’t come out right. Finally, I came across this recipe which worked perfectly.
These cookies are chock full of nutella flavor. It’s basically like dipping your spoon into a jar of nutella, but having it in a cookie form. They aren’t the prettiest cookies, but they are ridiculously easy to make with so few ingredients and steps.
They have a chewy texture and taste of nutella through and through. Yummy.
The original recipe calls for four ingredients, adding sugar to the cookie batter. Because there is so much nutella in these cookies, I didn’t think they needed the additional sugar, so I eliminated that ingredient, making this recipe even easier.
Three Ingredient Nutella Cookies
Yield: 10 cookies
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 8 mins
Ingredients:
1 cup of Nutella
1 cup of flour
1 eggDirections:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Mix all ingredients with a large spoon until a dough batter forms. The batter may be slightly crumbly, but should come together for the most part. . Form into 1 inch balls. Place on a cookie sheet. Press the balls down with the palm of your hand until they are round and flat. I smoothed out the edges of the cookies after flattening them. Space them about 1 inch apart. Bake for 7-8 minutes for the cookies to set.

I like the cookie version. Great for when you are in the mood for cookies rather than cake or brownies

Just in time for the Nutella I bought at Costco today! I think I will make these tomorrow.
Kirbie replied: — September 21st, 2011 @ 4:00 pm
Ah, the nutella at Costco is the best. I always buy my nutella there
caninecologne — September 19, 2011 @ 2:08 pm
cool! i like that there’s only 3 ingredients! keep it simple!
it reminds me of this old recipe i used to do for peanut butter cookies (it had either 3 or 4 ingredients).
nutella = yum!

I love simple recipes. Anything with 3 or 4 ingredients, I need to try.
Yuval — September 21, 2011 @ 6:16 am
OK that’s looks very good!! Cool idea

I tried these last night and they were a HUGE flop. They spread out way to thin and never set up.
My oven temp is accurate, ingredients were measured right…but they just did not work.
I am an experiend cook so I have no idea why they failed…..
Kirbie replied: — September 30th, 2011 @ 8:17 am
How was your dough before you baked them? The dough shouldn’t be as wet as most cookie dough. The dough for me was bordering on dry before it went into the oven.

These where so yummy and incredably easy! I added some chopped up almonds as well, and used peanut butter for the last quater cup.
Kirbie replied: — October 8th, 2011 @ 5:25 pm
I like your variations!

Should add a generous amount of Recess peanut butter chips- like chocolate chips, but ya know, peanut butter
Makes them much more delicious
Kirbie replied: — October 12th, 2011 @ 12:39 pm
Interesting idea. I wonder if they would still hold together. These cookies are a bit fragile.
Stephanie — November 9, 2011 @ 3:35 pm
this was a really good recipe
i ended up adding 3/4 cups nutella and 1/4 cup peanut butter and it turned out excellent!
Kirbie replied: — November 9th, 2011 @ 8:00 pm
Oh that sounds like a delicious variation!
dell — November 15, 2011 @ 1:50 am
hi there
this is a must try! what if i dont have any baking sheet, would the cookies turn out alright?
Kirbie replied: — November 15th, 2011 @ 9:24 am
Hi Dell. If you don’t have a baking sheet, what do you plan on using to bake the cookies on? It’s hard to answer your question without knowing what you do plan on using, but you will need a flat surface. I guess I can’t really think of what else would qualify other than a baking sheet. Perhaps you are thinking of using a large rectangle baking pan? That could work.

These are some of the best cookies I’ve tried in a while. For being such a simple and yummy recipe I give it give it a 10!
Kirbie replied: — November 19th, 2011 @ 11:04 am
I think it’s great for nutella lovers. It has such a pure taste of nutella without eating it directly from a spoon
Galina — November 19, 2011 @ 7:35 pm
I was so excited to try this but it ended up being a huge fail. I measured everything correctly and the oven temperature was alright as well. The cookies stayed dry and turned into rocks. I’m disappointed…
Kirbie replied: — November 19th, 2011 @ 9:24 pm
I’m sorry this recipe didn’t work out for you. I didnt have any problems with the recipe. If they turned into rocks I think maybe they baked too long? Perhaps try adding more Nutella to keep them more moist.

I’m searching for easy nutella cookies and this is easy enough
one quick question will self rising flour work or should it be all purpose? all I have on hand is self rising at the moment.
Kirbie replied: — December 1st, 2011 @ 11:23 pm
The recipe is supposed to be regular flour. I’m not sure how the self rising flour will work since that has a rising agent added to it already

A quick question: This make one dozen, yes? (Maybe I’m blind and it states the yield, but I can’t find it.)
Also, I think that I’ll add a splash of vanilla to the dough, as I’m a vanilla junkie and add it to everything.
Kirbie replied: — December 10th, 2011 @ 4:29 pm
It made about 10 cookies for me, so a little less than a dozen.

I am the worst baker ever; yet I love sweets. I tried this recipe once so far and my first batch was perfect not too sweet, a little mush’ on the inside and crunchy on the outside. This recipe belongs in a cook book for dummies; its that easy. If you do mess up you can still eat the delicious nutella instead. Thank you a tons for sharing.
Kirbie replied: — December 21st, 2011 @ 10:30 am
I’m so glad yours turns out well! And I’m sure you are a better baker than you give yourself credit for!
Phyllis — December 21, 2011 @ 2:25 pm
These are fantastic. Being diabetic , I love that there is no added sugar.
Kirbie replied: — December 21st, 2011 @ 5:41 pm
I’m so glad they worked out for you!
stephen — December 21, 2011 @ 8:58 pm
i just put these together. they are in the oven now. did 2 batches. one as is. the other i added a doluup of peanut butter on top. will update how they turned out. thanks for the idea
Kirbie replied: — December 21st, 2011 @ 10:48 pm
I hope they turn out well for you! I’ve done a version adding peanut butter into the batter too, basically 1/2 peanut butter and 1/2 nutella mixture. Came out pretty good.
Katie — January 16, 2012 @ 3:18 pm
I made these last night. I zested one full orange and squeezed a bit of fresh juice right into the mixer with the other ingredients. After letting them cool, I sandwiched two cookies putting more nutella as the cream to hold them together. Yum!!
Kirbie replied: — January 17th, 2012 @ 10:54 am
Thanks for sharing your variation. Sounds delicious!
Ana — January 21, 2012 @ 6:37 pm
Didn’t workout :O I mean I knew that the dough wouldn’t be like cookie dough but it was insanely dry and wouldnt mix with the nutella :O Maybe I should have melted the nutella a bit in the microwave .. ended up putting 2 cups of nutella … then another egg … to liquid , then a coup of flour .. big fat flop
it doesn’t have taste ! 
maybe I’ll try again sometime 
Kirbie replied: — January 23rd, 2012 @ 9:15 am
I’m sorry to hear that. The dough is very dry. I usually use my hands to mix it and make it come together. But I haven’t had any problems of it not working at all.
Kristin — January 22, 2012 @ 3:02 pm
The cookies set up fine, but they tasted bitter. I am going to test them out on my coworkers tomorrow to see if they like them, but I definitely won’t be making these again.
Kirbie replied: — January 23rd, 2012 @ 9:17 am
Hmm, I never had them taste bitter. I wonder if maybe it was flour that didn’t mix well?
Danielle — January 25, 2012 @ 7:15 pm
I just made these and was really disappointed. They are extremely bland. I sprinkled sugar on top and that didn’t help either. I didn’t have any trouble with them being too crumbly, but had to knead it. I would suggest putting peanut butter or some sort of chips in the dough, like others tried.
Kirbie replied: — January 26th, 2012 @ 9:36 am
I’m sorry you were disappointed. These aren’t my favorite cookies, but they are only 3 ingredients, and I like how simple they are to put together and they taste basically of just Nutella.
