3 Ingredient Nutella Cookies
February 8, 2012 | Print | E-mail | Filed under nutella
As I mentioned before, I’m taking a little vacation from blogging – don’t worry, I’ll be back! – but in the meantime, some of my favorite bloggers are stepping in to take the reins while I’m away. Today Kristan from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen is here, one of the most genuinely lovely and absolutely hilarious people I know. Just check out her blog and you’ll know exactly what I mean – she’ll have you laughing so hard your sides will hurt! Thank you Kristan for guest posting today!
Hey guys!! I’m Kristan from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen, and I’m so excited to be guest posting for Tracy today. She is seriously one of the nicest and most genuine bloggers I know and I count myself lucky to have her as a friend.
When Tracy asked me to guest post for her, I knew that I wanted to make something with Nutella. I am not allergic to peanut butter, but I know that for people like her who ARE, Nutella is a miracle. So it just so happens that I made some miraculous magic Nutella cookies just for Tracy!!
Wanna see how?
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of a mixer, combine the Nutella, sugar, and egg. Beat on medium speed until well combined, about a minute. Roll mixture into 1″ balls and place several inches apart (they spread quite a bit) on an ungreased, nonstick cookie sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the edges are firm to the touch. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for about 3 minutes. Carefully remove cookies to finish cooling on a baking rack.
These cookies are chewy and crunchy with a sugary bite…they remind me of the edge of a brownie!! I hope you enjoy them.
A huge thank you to Tracy for letting me visit today, and I hope to see all of you over on my blog, Confessions of a Cookbook Queen. Have a happy Wednesday!!

Great guest post! I’ve made these and they are AMAZING and so easy!

I love the three-ingredient Nutella cookies! Quick, easy, and definitely satisfies that particular Nutella craving.
February 8th, 2012 at 11:27 am
Wow–I’m blown away by the simplicity of this recipe! Nice.
February 8th, 2012 at 11:34 am
WOW that easy?? They sound delicious!!
February 8th, 2012 at 11:49 am
Seriously? 3 ingredients? I love you.
February 8th, 2012 at 11:54 am
GENIUS! I make the peanut butter version all the time, and throw in chocolate chips, raisins, sometimes a handful of oats for some texture…can’t wait to try these!
February 8th, 2012 at 11:57 am
Seriously? That’s it? I’m so in love. I could even pull this off on a weekday. Woot!
February 8th, 2012 at 11:58 am
how cool!! I bet these are so Nutella-y
February 8th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
brilliant! I make the pb ones all the time…I would’ve never thougth of Nutella. Can’t wait to try it!
February 8th, 2012 at 12:14 pm
These look delicious and I bet you could make some killer ice cream sandwiches out of them.
February 8th, 2012 at 12:20 pm
I feel like this was a terrible idea for me to see this recipe!! So simple!
February 8th, 2012 at 12:27 pm
Nutella is a gift from God sent to our household! My 4 year old daughter would eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I would let her. I love super simple recipes. Can’t wait to try this one out!
February 8th, 2012 at 12:47 pm
This looks great! How many cookies does it make? I am trying to figure out how to make it a little less awful on my WW diet
February 8th, 2012 at 1:02 pm
ooooh looks good! I love Nutella!
February 8th, 2012 at 1:07 pm
Yummy!! I have to try these soon! My picky eater son absolutely loves Nutella!
February 8th, 2012 at 1:10 pm
seriously?? That’s it?!?! gonna make them tonight
February 8th, 2012 at 1:10 pm
I love how easy these are. They’d be perfect for those non-bakers to get their baking gloves dirty.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:15 pm
I only bought Nuttela by accident , and it was pure heaven. We are super fans of it. I think with this cookie I would ‘roll’ it into a cone and fill with some whipped cream. I know to many calories, but it would be so good. Thanks for the great recipe!
February 8th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
“they remind me of the edge of a brownie!”
SOLD!
February 8th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
I tried these but they went very flat and stuck to the parchment paper!
suggestions to improve pls! Cos they tasted heavenly (what wasn’t stuck on the paper)
February 8th, 2012 at 2:42 pm
These sound so wonderful! Can’t wait to try it out
February 8th, 2012 at 3:16 pm
@Safa I used a nonstick cookie sheet and they were fine. Flat, like you see in the picture, but fine. I removed mine after a few minutes on the sheet though so they could firm up a bit but not cool enough to be stuck. Maybe it was the parchment paper?
February 8th, 2012 at 3:40 pm
I love the simplicity of these cookies! The lovely Nutella flavor must just shine! Can’t wait to try ‘em!
February 8th, 2012 at 4:12 pm
3 Ingredients does it for me every time! Thank you so very much for sharing they sound amazing…
February 8th, 2012 at 4:41 pm
3 ingredients = winner! I have never tried Nutella… I know, I know… but these cookies sound like the best ever reason to do so!
February 8th, 2012 at 6:28 pm
I have done this with peanut butter before, and it is amazing! WHY didn’t I think to use Nutella instead!!!
February 9th, 2012 at 1:57 am
I hate to say this, but I’m afraid that this is not a good combination. The gnutella flavor is lost and the sugar makes the outcome gritty. I would have rather had the three ingredients separately, and I’m sorry that I tried the recipe. Perhaps my tastes are different, but I would not try this recipe ever again. I threw out the batch.
February 9th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
Do you think these would work by replacing the sugar with raw stevia powder?
February 9th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
I too believe it was the paper. But they were so easy and tasted yuuuum!!! Usually when I try Nutella cookies they don’t give out the flavor it deserves. But these were Nutella lovers dream come true! Will try again for sure!
February 9th, 2012 at 4:23 pm
Great to see you over here, Kristan! These are genius cookies, they look soooooo perfect. I love brownie edges, so these have to be perfect cookies!!
February 9th, 2012 at 6:53 pm
Oh, these are going to be dangerous…i can tell.
February 9th, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Yum! These sound fantastic and I love that they only have three ingredients”)
February 10th, 2012 at 12:12 pm
oooh! nutella! I live in holland and we have loads of different chocolate bread spread stuff .. can’t wait to experiment!
February 10th, 2012 at 12:14 pm
Um yeah, I’m pretty certain I’m going to have to make these today. Otherwise I’ll be thinking and dreaming about them all weekend long.
February 10th, 2012 at 12:26 pm
I’m pretty certain that having knowledge of this recipe is going to be quite dangerous! In fact, I may just make them right now!
February 10th, 2012 at 8:35 pm
I have made the peanut butter version of this cookie. I had no idea you could make them with nutella **hits forehead with heel of palm** These are definitely going in the must try pile.
February 11th, 2012 at 12:58 am
Just made these…(the smell is still wafting through the house as they cool, yum!)
These almost remind me of chocolate pizelles because they get so flat and so big. I’d recommend not doing more than 6 at a time unless you want a big ol thin sheet of these! (Not that there’s anything wrong with that, mind you!)
They’re going to be used as a crunchy base for a sundaw with one crumbled on top for good measure. Hurry up tomorrow!
February 11th, 2012 at 12:12 pm
How many cookies should this yield? Making them now and it doesn’t seem like there will be too many. Might have to make a second batch. Good thing the Nutella was on sale!
February 15th, 2012 at 3:31 pm
Wow! only 3 ingredients?!?!?! I have to try and make this! =D
February 28th, 2012 at 8:47 am
Oh…well hello there 3 ingredient cookies! Nice!
March 21st, 2012 at 11:46 pm
i made these tonight. i put mine too close 2gether & ended up with a thin sheet. stuck to my non-stick pan too.
the pieces i salvaged were eaten & yummy tho! 
March 31st, 2012 at 9:50 pm
Delicious! I made mine with half nutella, half peanut butter. They never got flat. Weird.
April 11th, 2012 at 12:16 am
This is the easiest bake good I have ever made! They taste like a brownie in cookie form.
April 14th, 2012 at 7:41 pm
These were awesome~ as a family we collectively decided they are better than the peanut version.
April 21st, 2012 at 10:18 pm
You had me at “edge of a brownie.” These are awesome. Mine were overdone at 10 minutes, so you might want to check them at 8 or 9. I baked them on nonstick foil and they released easily after cooling a couple of minutes. Also, if you want to die and go to heaven, spread some Nutella on a cookie after it’s cooled.
April 27th, 2012 at 8:51 pm
Thank you so much for sharing! These are so yummy! I ended up making ice cream sandwiches out of them…yum!

I made two batches to experiment to give to a friend. The first one I made with only a 1/2 cup of sugar and no flour; the second batch I used 1 cup of sugar and a little over a 1/2 cup of flour. The flour helped the cookies to keep its shape, but a whole cup of sugar caused some graininess and it was too sweet. So I personally would use a 1/2 cup of sugar and flour.
May 2nd, 2012 at 1:15 pm
My brothers loved it! It came out really chewy and crispy! I cut the sugar to half though.
but overall it was really yummy! 
May 28th, 2012 at 1:20 am
I LOVE THIS!
They are so easy to make and they are delicious!
June 24th, 2012 at 6:33 pm
Not my favorite cookie… very grainy tasting with how much sugar was in it. Very easy to make though.
June 26th, 2012 at 2:17 pm
EASY AND TASTY…….YUMMMYYYYY!!!
June 28th, 2012 at 12:31 pm
Tried them with half cup flour an half cup sugar to minimize sweetness. They taste good but totally stuck to the pan. Sprayed Pam spray and that helped but not very pretty looking. We will use the crumbles for ice cream topping.
June 29th, 2012 at 7:40 pm
Just finished making these a few minutes ago and I am so disappointed! Aside from the fact that they were so thin and brittle it was impossible to get a whole cookie off the pan, they were also very grainy from all of the sugar.
I tried creaming the mixture a little longer hoping that it would help dissolve the sugar a little more. I also thought refrigerating the dough might help with the spreading. But, sadly, I was wrong. I’ll try adding flour and less sugar next time, like was suggested in the above comments.
August 11th, 2012 at 6:31 am
How many cookies does this make?
August 25th, 2012 at 8:01 pm
Just made these and added slivered almonds to the mix. Delish!
August 28th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
Honestly a huge let down. The cookies stuck to the nonstick pan so I tried greasing the second pan and they still did the same. They crumbled everywhere and left hard residue all over my pans! What a mess!
I followed the recipe exactly.
Huge disappointment, waste of my time and ingredients.
August 28th, 2012 at 6:12 pm
I saw this same recipe elsewhere, only instead of sugar it calls for 1 cup of flour. Recipe specifically says “Do not add sugar!” That may be the problem with them getting too thin and sticking.

how many cookies does this recipe make
October 28th, 2012 at 12:38 pm

December 9th, 2012 at 8:52 pm
