If this is not your first time on this blog, I’m guessing that you already know about my Nutella obsession. If it is your first time here, you now know one of my weaknesses.
Even if you are not a Nutella fan, you will probably like these cookies. The hazelnut flavor is not very prominent. Think of it as a cross between a fudge brownie and a good old fashioned chocolate cookie.
I found the recipe ( wait for it ) on Pinterest. Shocking, I know.
Hold on to your seats…
1 cup of Nutella
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 egg
That’s it.
Mix until uniform consistency. I used my hands because it was a pretty thick dough.
I suppose you could spoon these puppies right onto a baking sheet and call it a day. It was almost too easy. I felt guilty. I am weird.
I covered the chocolatey lump of dough with waxed paper and used a rolling pin to make it about 1/2 inch thick. Maybe a hair thinner.
I have been itching to use my new cookie cutters, so I picked one out and cut cut cut.
I sprayed the baking sheet with nonstick spray and laid the cookies out.
Bake them for six minutes on 350. They barely spread out at all, so I put them pretty close together.
I sprinkled a little powdered sugar on top for an extra dose of happiness.
There ya have it. The easiest cookie from scratch recipe I know. Enjoy!!

wow so easy! I’ll have to try it. my new obsession is Trader Joe’s cocoa almond spread! it’s comparable to Nutella but also a bit different. It’s much smoother and easier to spread/mix into just about anything. I highly recommend it to switch things up from Nutella once in a while 😉
