2tbspcoconut flour, or 6 tbsp superfine almond flour
2tspwater, or 1 tbsp water for almond flour version
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, add Nutella and flour. Do not add water yet. Mix and stir until flour is completely incorporated into the Nutella.
Add in the water. Stir until the water is completely absorbed and the spread becomes very thick. At first the mixture will look very wet but once the water is fully incorporated, the dough will become dry and thick.
Scoop out 1 tbsp of dough. Roll between your palms to form a ball and place onto prepared baking sheet. Press down with your palm to flatten into a disk. This is the final shape of your cookie so you can shape or spread as much or little as you like to get the appearance you want. Repeat with remaining dough.
Place cookies into fridge to set, about 15-30 minutes. Cookies can be eaten straight out of the fridge or you can let them soften a few minutes at room temperature.
Notes
Do not add the water until after you have fully mixed together the flour and Nutella. If you add the water in at the beginning, your dough will be too thick and you won't be able to mix. I explain in more detail what the water does near the beginning of the post.
These cookies are quite sweet so I made them a little smaller than an average cookie. You can make them smaller or bigger if you would like.
I explain in more detail the differences between the coconut version and almond flour version in the body of the post. I prefer the almond flour version because it's a little softer and nuttier.
If you want to make the cookies less sweet, you can add 1-2 tbsp of cocoa powder to the cookie dough. Mix it with the Nutella first and then mix in your flour.
I sprinkled coarse sea salt on top, but that is completely optional. You can also add chopped chocolate.
