I’ve been nominated for a blogging award! Please vote for me – it only takes a moment and you don’t need to create an account on the CBS site. You can vote once a day until September 9th. Thanks for your support!

Can you believe it’s September already? I can’t believe summer is almost over and it’s time to go back to school. Do you have any favorite back to school recipes? I need to start planning ahead for easy and healthy lunches and snacks (I teach preschool in the morning and work in an office in the afternoon).

Along that theme, this is possibly the simplest and most straightforward cookie recipe I’ve ever seen – great for a busy day. Mix the 4 ingredients together, roll dough into balls, and you’ve got cookies less in 20 minutes. Of course, I made it more complicated and added 2 more ingredients: marshmallows and chocolate chips. The cookies would be great without those additions too, but it’s kind of fun to have a marshmallow in the middle.

They’re pretty heavy and substantial cookies, with a strong Nutella flavor and soft texture. The base recipe seems pretty versatile and I think you could add lots of different ingredients and have a fabulous cookie. What would you add to the Nutella cookies? Or do you think a Nutella flavored cookie should just be left as it is?

Recipe:

Nutella Cookies

  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/8 cup marshmallows (optional)
  • 1/8 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir together Nutella, flour, sugar and egg until thoroughly combined. Mix in chocolate chips if using.

Form dough into 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet. Push marshmallows into the middle of each cookie and press down firmly with your palm to flatten. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until set.

    This is perfect for a weekend baking session with my sister! I love Nutella. The only thing I’ll add on this recipe are nuts for a crunchy texture.

    These cookies are really good and easy to make. The peanut butter and chocolate ones are next on my to-do list. I have to say, my all time favorite are oatmeal with dark chocolate chips.

    Hi,

    Can I just ask what type of flour? Self raising or plain?

    Many thanks, these look EPIC btw 🙂

    Hi,

    I have a friend who loves Nutella and I plan on making these for her birthday this week! I was wondering how many cookies this recipe makes- I want to plan accordingly because I know everyone at school will want one! Thanks for for the awesome recipe!

    Thanks in advance!

      @Steven – oops, I forgot to include the amount! I remember the recipe doesn’t make a ton, probably 10-12 cookies.

    Hello! These look so delicious! I love to bake and want to make these..but I was wondering, in the recipe it says to add the marshmallows and chocolate chips and mix them in. So I mix in some marshmallows in the batter too and also press some in the middle after I smash it down with my palm?

    Also, I’m going to make the Self frosting Pumpkin Nutella cupcakes for Thanksgiving next week! I can’t wait!

      @Lisa – I’ll edit this to make it more clear. I would skip the mixing them in part and just push marshmallows into the middle of each cookie.

    Hi. I just made these and they are very brittle. I didn’t add the extra chocolate chips but did push the marshmallow in the center. I can tell they have potential to be good, but they are dry and crumble easily. What can I add? More Nutella, butter…?

      Hi. I also just made these and they were very dry but i added a little bit of milk and it made the mixture come together much more easily.

    These cookies are fantastic and so easy to make! My kids went nuts over them. I doubled the recipe, used a rice-based GF flour blend in place of wheat flour, and coconut sugar in place of white sugar. I added a splash of milk, per a suggestion in comments. And I also included some mini chocolate chips. They are even better on day two. Thanks for the recipe.
