What Is Nutella?
Nutella is a smooth Hazelnut Spread that can be used in a wide variety of ways and recipes. Spread it on some toast, use it as a frosting or create a delicious cookie with it! It’s so versatile! It’s a great ingredient to have around not only because of how many uses there are, but also it has a long shelf life and doesn’t even need to be refrigerated. In fact, you want to keep it room temperature as it’s much easier to spread!

Here are the step-by-step instructions to make these yummy cookies. Check out the printable recipe card below.
- Add Nutella, brown sugar, egg and flour to a bowl and mix well.
- Fold in chocolate chips. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a 2 tablespoon portion scoop make into a ball and scoop cookie dough balls and roll in granulated sugar.
- Place on prepared baking sheet (use parchment paper or a silicone mat), 3 inches apart, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Storage, Leftovers and Freezing
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay good for about 4 days. Nutella cookies are great to freeze! You can either freeze the dough before baking or freeze the cookies after baking.
To freeze the dough before baking, wrap it in some parchment paper and put in a freezer bag. Thaw out in the fridge before baking. To freeze after baking, let the cookies cool to room temperature. Stack the cookies on parchment paper and store in a freezer safe container. You can thaw those at room temperature.
Notes, Tips and FAQs
- DO YOU NEED TO CHILL THE DOUGH? – Unfortunately, yes. If you don’t these cookies will end up way to flat and won’t have that soft, chewy texture. Its worth the wait, we promise.
- ADDITIONS – You can use White Chocolate Chips like we did. Or use regular chocolate chips. You can also use peanut butter chocolate chips. Adding walnuts or pecans to this cookie would be yummy too!
- DO YOU NEED TO ROLL THE DOUGH IN SUGAR? – Nope! We just like to do that. You can bake the cookie dough without any sugar coating. Or, sprinkle with some coarse sea salt instead after baking. Or you could sprinkle with some powdered sugar!
