What is Nutella?

Nutella is a rich chocolate and hazelnut flavored spread made made by Italian company Ferrero. With creamy texture, it is a cross between a peanut butter and chocolate spread. The flavor is sweeter than peanut butter but not quite as sweet as chocolate.

All this makes Nutella a delicious base for these 3 Ingredient Nutella Cookies.

American Vs European Nutella

The ingredients above are for the American version of Nutella and while the ingredients are similar they do slightly vary. Many people believe the American version is lighter in color and more liquid while the European version is darker and thicker. The American version is reported to taste sweeter while the European version has more of a hazelnut and chocolate taste resulting in a richer flavor.

Nutella Cookie Ingredients

• Nutella: The chocolate and hazelnut combination makes these cookies sweet but not overly sweet. Other brands of hazelnut chocolate spread can be substituted although the flavor and sweetness may vary.
• Sugar: Simple granulated sugar will do and gives these cookies a crispy lighter flavor.
• Egg: The eggs add structure and moisten these cookies. Here are a few egg substitute suggestions.

How to Make Nutella Cookies

As the 3-ingredient name might imply this a very easy recipe.

1. Mix all three ingredients, mold into 1-inch balls
2. Place on a greased cookie sheet
3. Bake for under ten minutes.

Be careful not to overcook these cookies so they stay soft and fudgy.

What to Add to Nutella Cookies?

You can add sprinkles, frosting, chocolate chips, nuts, candy bar pieces or even dollop Nutella on top of the cookies. The combinations are endless! Wait for the cookies to cool before adding toppings.

I decided that I needed to give mine a little Valentine’s flair. I pulled them out of the oven about two minutes before they were done and gave them a little sprinkle. Cute, don’t you think? And that is one amazing less-than-perfect photograph, if I do say so myself.

How to Store Nutella Cookies

The cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days. Heat them up for that same soft and gooey fresh out of the oven cookie.
