You know those days when you just need a little pick-me-up, something warm and comforting to chase away the blues? Well, let me tell you about one such afternoon that led to the discovery of my go-to Nutella cookies recipe. It was one of those gloomy days, the kind where the clouds hang low, and the world seems just a little too quiet. I was feeling down, and honestly, the only thing I wanted was to bake something sweet—something that would fill my kitchen with the scent of warmth and comfort.
As I rummaged through my pantry, my eyes landed on a jar of Nutella. Nutella has always been my guilty pleasure, a little spoonful here and there to brighten up my day. But that day, I decided to take it up a notch. I wanted something simple, something that didn’t require a lot of effort but would still taste like a hug in cookie form.
And that’s how I stumbled upon this ridiculously easy Nutella cookie recipe. With just three ingredients, it seemed too good to be true. But let me tell you, the result was nothing short of magic.
Ingredients
- 200g Nutella or hazelnut protein spread
- 1 egg
- 125g plain flour

- Mixing the Magic
In a mixing bowl, combine the Nutella and the egg. At first, it might seem like a strange combination, but trust me, they come together beautifully. As I whisked them together, I could already feel my spirits lifting. There’s something so satisfying about watching ingredients meld together into something new and delicious. - Flour Power
Next, add the flour to the Nutella-egg mixture. Whisk until smooth, and the dough will start to form. It’s thick, rich, and oh-so-tempting. I remember stealing a little taste at this point—don’t judge me! The dough was just as comforting as I hoped it would be. - Chill Out
Now, this part is important: let the dough rest in the fridge for about 10 minutes. I used this time to clean up a bit, but honestly, I was counting down the minutes until I could get those cookies in the oven. - Shape and Bake
After the dough has rested, it’s time to create the cookies. You can add chocolate chips if you’re feeling a little extra—because why not? Shape the dough into small balls and place them on a baking tray. Pop them in the oven at 180°C (350°F) and let them bake for about 10 minutes. - The Sweet Finale
When the cookies come out of the oven, they’ll be slightly soft but will firm up as they cool. The smell alone is enough to make you swoon. And the first bite? Pure bliss. These cookies are crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, with that rich Nutella flavor shining through.
The Perfect Treat
These Nutella cookies became my go-to recipe for those moments when I need a little comfort. They’re quick, easy, and incredibly satisfying. Whether you’re having a bad day or just craving something sweet, these cookies are like a warm hug in dessert form. And every time I make them, I’m reminded of that gloomy afternoon that turned into something much sweeter. Next time, I might even try experimenting by adding some chopped hazelnuts or a sprinkle of sea salt to mix things up. But for now, these Nutella cookies are just perfect as they are. Oh, and speaking of comfort food, I recently came across a cream and jam buns recipe that I can’t wait to try. I’ve always been a sucker for anything with a gooey, sweet filling, so I have a feeling that recipe will become another favorite in no time.
