Step by Step 4 Ingredient Nutella Cookies Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350F / 180C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray on some non-stick baking spray.

2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.

3. Stir with a sturdy spoon or spatula until the mixture comes together with no flour streaks remaining

4. Form small round balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the baking tray.

5. Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 10 minutes. The centre of the cookies will still be a bit soft to touch and that’s perfect. They will also spread quite a bit as you can see below so make sure you leave enough gap between the cookie dough balls before baking.

6. Cool completely and serve or better yet when they are a bit warm. Go ahead!

7. Store in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 3 days if they last that long.

Notes:

1. You can try the same recipe with wheat flour (atta) or any nut flour like almond flour as well. I haven’t tried them myself but don’t see why they won’t work
2. The egg is important to give a soft rise to the cookies. Greek yogurt could be a good substitute but I need to experiment with it to understand proportions. If you try it, do let me know
