Nutella Cookies Recipe - Guide Recipe
The cookie dough needs to rest in the fridge for 10 minutes which is exactly the time I need to clean up and preheat my oven. OK let’s be real I probably won’t clean up but rather flip through Instagram. Really bad habit!
When the time is up , take the dough out of the fridge and using a tablespoon , scoop out dough and form about 20 cookie balls. Make a well in the center of each cookie and fill it with Nutella. Top with chopped hazelnuts for more depth of flavor! YUM! Bake them until they’re done , and you’ve just made yourself the BEST and EASIEST cookies. They taste best right out of the oven but keep also fresh for a few days in an airtight container.
Nutella Cookies Recipe
These Nutella Cookies are SO easy and quick to make! You only need FOUR ingredients to make these hazelnut-spread stuffed cookies. Perfect for the holiday season and all year round!
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 3/4 cup Nutella room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose-flour spoon and level
- For the filling:
- 1/2 cup Nutella room temperature
- 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
Instructions:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment whisk together the egg and 3/4 cup Nutella for about 2 minutes until the mixture is glossy.
- Add flour and beat until combined. It's important to measure the flour correctly to avoid adding too much , I prefer using a kitchen scale but if you're using a measuring cup , use a spoon to fill the cup with flour and don't scoop it.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. Don't leave the dough longer in the fridge or the dough will get cracked when forming the balls.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Using a tablespoon , scoop out dough and form 20-25 cookie balls. Place cookie balls on the baking sheet.
- Use your finger or the end of a wooden cooking spoon to make a dent in the center of each cookie.
- Fill the hole with Nutella. The easiest way is to use a pastry bag or a Zip Lock bag for this.
- Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top of the Nutella.
- Bake for about 10 minutes. Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool down on the baking sheet for 10 minutes , then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
