4 ingredient Nutella cookies – learn how to make Nutella cookies with just 4 ingredients. These cookies are soft and mildly chewy, perfect with a glass of milk.
After the incredibly successful 3 ingredient flourless Nutella brownies recipe I tried, I couldn’t stop. I mean, here I was with a freshly opened jar of Nutella and I had to try something else and so these Nutella cookies happened. The idea was to end up with soft cookies that were mildly chewy that held their shape nicely and could be dunked in a glass of milk if the mood felt right to do so. I played around a bit with the proportions of ingredients and it worked out really well. If you have a jar of Nutella lying around, all you need is three more ingredients to whip a batch of these delicious 4 ingredient Nutella cookies.
As the first recipe post in 2017, this is also probably a good time to let you know that we are expecting to become parents soon! I am due in less than 3 weeks and life has been a bit of a roller coaster ride last few months. The first trimester was quite dreadful but since then, a pretty good pregnancy where life has mostly been normal. I plan to work until 5 days before the due date and my mom is coming soon so yay for that! If you want to get more regular updates on this exciting new chapter in our lives, follow me on Instagram 🙂

4 Ingredient Nutella Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons plain all-purpose flour maida
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp Nutella
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F / 180C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray on some non-stick baking spray
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.
- Stir with a sturdy spoon or spatula until the mixture comes together with no flour streaks remaining
- Form small round balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the baking tray. The mixture should be soft enough for you to be able to form rough balls.
- Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Cool completely and serve or better yet when they are a bit warm. Go ahead!
- Store in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 3 days if they last that long.
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 the 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:
- 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
- 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

That is such an amazing recipe. I would have added chocolate chips on top.
fabulous idea to add chocolate chips on nutella cookies
Thank you for the steps to make the recipe. This is very useful for everyone.
this is really delicious and so easy. i made it with a homemade hazelnut spread so added 2 tbsp melted butter for the right consistency. The kids loved it!
What a lovely cookie recipe! Just loved it. I am in this baking field so I make sure to keep a track as to what all cakes and cookie recipes you post. I was just wondering if we can use Freeze dried fruits in baking (i.e. using them in cakes and cookies)
if the fruits are not key to the recipe (like bananas in banana cake), it should work ok.
