Nutella Cookies

These decadent Nutella cookies are rich, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make. 

Nutella Cookie Ingredients

These are the ingredients you’ll need to make this top-rated Nutella cookie recipe: 

• Flour: This recipe starts with all-purpose flour, which gives the dough structure. 
• Cocoa powder: You’ll need cocoa powder for these super chocolatey cookies. 
• Baking soda: Baking soda acts as a leavener, which means it helps the cookies rise. 
• Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the flavors of the other ingredients, but it won’t make the cookies taste salty. 
• Butter: Two sticks of butter lend moisture and flavor. 
• Sugars: You’ll need both brown and white sugars for these sweet cookies. 
• Eggs: Eggs add moisture and help bind the dough together. 
• Vanilla: Vanilla extract takes the indulgent flavor up a notch. 
• Chocolate-hazelnut spread: Of course, you’ll need chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)!
• Mix-ins: Hazelnuts and chocolate chips are optional, but they make for a more flavorful and complex cookie.
