I love combining Nutella with other flavors. Believe it or not but cherries and Nutella are soooo good together. But today Nutella is the STAR of this recipe!
Oh, holy yumminess! These hazelnut cookies will literally blow your mind. This recipe is for you if you like:
A) DOUBLE Nutella in your cookies: The main ingredient of the batter is Nutella & they’re filled with Nutella <– YES, please!
B) Easy recipes that only need a single-digit amount of ingredients!
C) Utterly addictive soft, chocolatey cookies <– Very true!
Soft hazelnut-spread cookies stuffed with MORE Nutella and topped with chopped hazelnuts and a cold glass of milk? YES, please!
Seriously what is not to love about these Nutella treats? They’re super easy to make and you really just need four ingredients to whip them up!
We start with whipping the Nutella and the egg together. Then we add the only dry ingredient we need: flour! Mix until everything is combined and the dough is DONE. That was easy, wasn’t it?!
The cookie dough needs to rest in the fridge for 10 minutes which is exactly the time I need to clean up and preheat my oven. OK let’s be real I probably won’t clean up but rather flip through Instagram. Really bad habit!
When the time is up, take the dough out of the fridge and using a tablespoon, scoop out dough and form about 20 cookie balls. Make a well in the center of each cookie and fill it with Nutella. Top with chopped hazelnuts for more depth of flavor! YUM! Bake them until they’re done, and you’ve just made yourself the BEST and EASIEST cookies. They taste best right out of the oven but keep also fresh for a few days in an airtight container.
These cookies are soft, gooey in the middle, full of Nutella, and get a little crunch from the hazelnuts. So yummy!

Nutella Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 3/4 cup Nutella, room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose-flour, spoon and level
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup Nutella, room temperature
- 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment whisk together the egg and 3/4 cup Nutella for about 2 minutes until the mixture is glossy.
- Add flour and beat until combined. It's important to measure the flour correctly to avoid adding too much, I prefer using a kitchen scale but if you're using a measuring cup, use a spoon to fill the cup with flour and don't scoop it.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. Don't leave the dough longer in the fridge or the dough will get cracked when forming the balls.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough and form 20-25 cookie balls. Place cookie balls on the baking sheet.
- Use your finger or the end of a wooden cooking spoon to make a dent in the center of each cookie.
- Fill the hole with Nutella. The easiest way is to use a pastry bag or a Zip Lock bag for this.
- Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top of the Nutella.
- Bake for about 10 minutes. Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool down on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
- Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container in a cool and dry place. They will keep fresh for about a week.

My Daughter and I just made these for Mother’s day to give to the Grandmas’. Our batter was SUPER crumbly so I added about 2tsp of water and it was just right. They turned out beautifully. Thanks for a great recipe.

Perfect taste gooey and soft! However it doesnt turn out a nice shape. May I know the cause of it? Too little flour or does it need a longer whisk after flour is added? Dough was quite sticky too.
Overall it was a great recipe! Thank you for sharing. God bless you🙏🏼♥️
