    The 3 ingredients required for making simple cookies on a bench.
    • Plain flour - also referred to as all purpose flour.
    • Nutella - or any other hazelnut spread or chocolate hazelnut spread.
    • Egg - large (approx 60 gm) and have this at room temperature.

    Equipment Required

    No fancy equipment is required to make these yummy 3 Ingredient Nutella Cookies.

    You will need:

    • Baking Tray;
    • Parchment Paper;
    • Thermomix or Hand Mixer.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Handy for lunch boxes or an after school bite, Nutella cookies can be frozen as well, either as uncooked dough, or baked cookies.

    Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    Step 1 - Preheat & Prep

    Preheat your oven to 170°C (fan-forced).

    Line baking trays with baking paper and set aside.

    Step 2 - Mix The Ingredients

    Combine the plain flour, Nutella, and egg in a large bowl.

    The 3 ingredients placed in a glass bowl.

    Mix with a spoon or beaters until the dough is fully blended.

    If using a Thermomix, mix for 10 seconds on Speed 4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat until well combined.

    Step 3 - Form The Biscuits

    Roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls, placing them on the prepared trays.

    Press lightly with a fork to flatten the cookie dough balls.

    Step 4 - Bake & Serve

    Bake for 8 minutes - don't overcook!

    Leave the cookies on the baking trays for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to completely cool.

    Expert Tips

    • Use store-bought Nutella - or make your own homemade Nutella.
    • Storing - place leftover Nutella cookies in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
    • Freeze - wrap well to freeze either the unbaked Nutella cookies dough or baked cookies for up to 3 months.
    • To make these biscuits extra special, add some chocolate chips or chopped nuts before baking!

    FAQs

    Is plain flour the same thing as all purpose flour?

    Yes, it is! All-purpose is the term widely used in America, while in the UK and Australia, we refer to it as plain flour. Plain (all purpose) flour doesn't contain any rising agent as self-raising flour does!

    Can I use homemade Nutella in this Nutella cookies recipe?

    Absolutely! Any store-bought or homemade chocolate hazelnut spread is fine to use, or you can make your own Nutella.

    Do I need any equipment to make Nutella cookies?

    You don't need ANY fancy equipment at all! Just a mixing bowl and spoon!

      I made these last night. The mix looked quite dry. Is this normal? I added a splash of milk. They turned out beautiful and fudgy with that hit of Nutella being unmistakable. Thanks Lucy 🙂
