    Simple ingredients

    The basic recipe for homemade Nutella cookies typically consists of just three ingredients:

    ingredients

    Nutella: This is the key ingredient and provides the chocolate and hazelnut flavor in the cookies.

    Flour: All-purpose flour helps give the cookies their structure and texture.

    A large egg: The egg acts as a binder and binds the dough together.

    Step-by-step instructions

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), grease the cookie sheet, or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine a cup of Nutella, an egg, and flour. Stir well until you have a smooth and homogenous mixture. Take small portions of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.

    Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie ball to create a crisscross pattern. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Remember that cookies will firm up as they cool.

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can add frosting if desired. Enjoy the goodness of these 3-ingredient Nutella cookies!

    Mouthwatering variations

    While the basic Nutella 3-ingredient cookie recipe is delightful on its own, you can take it up a notch by adding some delightful variations. Here are some popular variations you can try:

    Nutella-stuffed cookies: To take these cookies to the next level, add a teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each cookie ball before baking. The result is a gooey, Nutella-filled surprise that will leave everyone craving more.

    Chocolate chip Nutella cookies: You can add chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white) or chocolate spread to the cookie dough for an extra burst of rich chocolate goodness.

    3 ingredient Nutella cookies b

    Peanut butter Nutella cookies: Mix Nutella and peanut butter in equal parts (e.g., ½ cup Nutella and ½ cup peanut butter) and use this mixture to replace the regular amount of Nutella in the recipe. This combination adds a delightful nutty flavor.

    Nutella and banana cookies: Mix a ripe banana with Nutella and the flour to create a banana-Nutella cookie dough. This adds a fruity twist to your cookies.

    Nutella and sea salt cookies: For a sophisticated twist, sprinkle a pinch of salt on top of each cookie just before or after baking. 

    Nutella and nuts cookies: For added crunch and texture, fold some chopped toasted hazelnuts or any other nuts of your choice into the dough. 

    Nutella and coconut cookies: Incorporate shredded coconut into the cookie dough for a tropical taste.

    Nutella 3-ingredient cookies are perfect on their own, but they also make an excellent accompaniment to a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a glass of cold milk. You can also simply double the ingredients to make a double batch. Serve them at parties, picnics, or as a holiday cookie.

    Storage and reheat 3 ingredient Nutella cookies

    Storing homemade 3-ingredient Nutella cookies is important to keep them fresh and maintain their delicious taste and texture. Nutella cookies are best stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for up to a week. Place the cooled cookies in an air-tight container, separating each layer with parchment paper. Homemade cookies typically have a shorter shelf life than commercially produced ones because they lack preservatives. Try to consume the Nutella cookies within a week for the best flavor and texture.

    If you want to extend their shelf life further, you can refrigerate the cookies for up to two weeks or freeze them for up to three months. When freezing, place them in an airtight container or a freezer bag. If you freeze the cookies, allow them to thaw at room temperature for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

    To refresh their texture, you can reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes. Remember that the texture of Nutella cookies may change slightly after storage, but they should still taste delicious!

    Conclusion

    This recipe features the easiest cookies to make ever. With minimal ingredients, you can create a batch of mouthwatering cookies for your friends and family.
