Nutella Cookies Recipe
Nutella Cookies are SO easy and quick to make. You only need FOUR ingredients to make them! These hazelnut-spread stuffed cookies are every Nutella lover’s dream.
Happy Monday! To make your Monday just a little bit sweeter, here are some Nutella cookies that are stuffed with MORE Nutella and sprinkled with chopped hazelnuts. They are every Nutella lover’s dream!
You probably realized by now that I’m a big fan of Nutella! I sometimes even eat it with a spoon – no bread, just a spoon. Sooo good! Perfect when you forgot to buy chocolate and are craving something sweet. One spoon of this gooey hazelnut spread and your chocolate cravings are satisfied.
If you’re a Nutella lover like me, be sure to also check out my Nutella Swirl Pumpkin Bread, my Salted Caramel Pretzel Brownies with Nutella and my Nutella Cupcakes with Cherries! They’re all so delicious.
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 and chewy 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
- 3/4 cup Nutella room temperature, 180g
- 1 cup all-purpose-flour 120g
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup Nutella room temperature, 120g
- 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
-
Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat. 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.
-
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 well 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 a bit to firm up.
-
These taste great warm but also keep fresh in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Recipe Notes
Recipe updated 12/21 because some readers had problems with the dough being too dry. I reduced the amount of flour from 1 1/4 cups to 1 cup.

Hi, I was wondering if these cookies would do well in the mail? I have a friend who I know would love these!
Julia
I haven’t tried it myself but I think they would do well in the mail. They’re sturdy enough that they won’t crumble while en route. I would pack them in an airtight container with waxed paper between layers and mail the container in a larger cardboard box. I hope your friend likes them as much as I do! Happy Holidays!

My dough crumbled before I put it in the oven. Yikes! They may not be as pretty, but hopefully taste ok. Wondering what happened…
Amanda
They crumbled while mixing…
Julia
It could be the temperature of the ingredients. The dough gets crumblier when it’s cold. Did the Nutella have room temperature? It’s also important to chill the dough not longer than 10 minutes.
Hannah
The same thing happened to me while I was mixing the dough it turned into dry crumbles – I followed the recipe, but it seemed like there was too much flour. I ended up adding some more nutella and a bit of water.
Because they were cracking with I made the wells I was afraid they wouldn’t turn out, but they held their shape and tasted so good.
Julia
I’m so happy you liked them, Hannah! I just updated the recipe and reduced the amount of flour. Thank you for your help! Happy Holidays!
Claire
These are not even sweet at all they need sugar or something else. Pretty bland
Julia
Hi Claire, sorry they weren’t sweet enough for your taste! Nutella contains 56% sugar, so there is plenty of sugar in these cookies. I wouldn’t add any more or you would basically eat sugar!
Kelly Lynne
Thanks for this great recipe! I made it with the 1 cup of flour and they didn’t crack as much. I also used a whole hazelnut on top of the Nutella and some festive sprinkles for Christmas. They look really pretty 🙂
Theresa

Just made these and they came out perfect. I used the 1cup of flour recipe and they came out looking smooth and not cracked at all.
I don’t agree that these are bland, they are actually sweet (it’s pretty much all nutella!) great to have with coffee or tea.
i didn’t have any type of nuts around the house so I used toasted coconut instead, they tasted great so I would recommend it to anyone needing a substitute.
Great recipe, super easy, thanks for sharing!
Kat
This recipe was perfect! So easy and so simple. Exactly what I was looking for. A great way to use up Nutella and flour. 🙂
Julia
