Ingredients

1 cup Nutella
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the Nutella and egg until smooth and fully mixed.
Step 3: Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Step 4: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 5: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
Step 6: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

For a crunchier texture, bake the cookies for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the dough for extra texture and flavor.
If your Nutella is too thick, warming it slightly before mixing can help achieve a smoother dough.
Try rolling the dough in sugar before baking to add a sweet, crisp coating.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently in the microwave for about 10 seconds to restore softness.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of chocolate spread instead of Nutella?

Yes, you can substitute Nutella with any chocolate-hazelnut spread or even plain chocolate spread, though the flavor may vary slightly.

What if I don’t have all-purpose flour?

All-purpose flour is best for texture, but you can try whole wheat flour or a gluten-free blend. Keep in mind it may affect the cookie’s consistency and taste.

Cookie Ingredients

1 cup Nutella
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking and gives the cookies a perfect texture.
Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup Nutella, 1 large egg, and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and a smooth dough forms.
Shape Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into small balls (about 1-inch each) and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Flatten Dough Balls: Gently flatten each dough ball with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon to help cookies bake evenly.
Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly firm but the centers remain soft.
Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents breaking and allows cookies to set.
