Who says great recipes have to have a gazillion ingredients, with complicated a process? Not me. Simple and tasty recipes are welcome any day around here. Less is best in my book. And these Nutella Cookies from Tasty Kitchen member ABusyNest are no exception. With only four ingredients, it’s easy to whip up a batch these crunchy, but chewy, sweet (but not too sweet), nutty-tasting cookies. No one needs to know how easy they are. It can be our little secret.
What are we waiting for? Let’s get started.
To get started you’ll need sugar, an egg, flour and Nutella. That’s it. Easy, huh?
Begin by mixing together the sugar and egg. Next add in the flour.
Mix together a tad. Finish up with the Nutella.
Oh Nutella, you are my friend. My sweet, sweet friend. I really like you.
Combine well. The batter will be somewhat crumbly, like this.
Using your hands, make approximately 1″ balls and place on a lined or greased cookie sheet.
Flatten each cookie dough ball with a flat bottomed glass or your hand, if you prefer.
Flatten them out for a crunchy cookie, with a little bit of a chewy center, or flatten them only slightly for a chewier version.
Bake at 350°F for 7-8 minutes or until set. Cool slightly, or snag one while still warm. Enjoy!
After making the batch, and seeing it quickly disappear, I realized it would’ve made the perfect cookie for an ice cream sandwich, or crumbled up for an ice cream topping.
Big thanks to these ladies for a simple, yet tasty recipe. Their blog, A Busy Nest, is the recipe journal of Edie (mom), Jennifer and Meredith (two sisters) and you’ll find lots of great recipes in there.

Me, too, TB! I kept scrolling up and down and…nope…no measurements. Then I checked comments and…nope…nobody else but me and TB seem to need more directions. Halp!
TB on 2.28.2011
How much flour, sugar, and Nutella? I don’t see the measurements anywhere–am I an idiot and I’m just missing them? Why is nobody else asking? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!

These were very tasty….however, I made them with chocolate chips and I gotta tell ya, NOT recommended. These cookies are lovely the way the recipe is and the chocolate chips make them verrrrrry difficult to handle once out of the oven. The chips make the cookie too soft and molten – we’ll see if they dry and cool to a manageable morsel.

A gazillion ingredients and a complicated process? Like tamales? Haha.
These would be a welcomed break after any kitchen challenge.
Looks great!

I have only recently discovered Nutella. I mostly just eat it with a spoon. These look really good I will have to give them a try

I made Nutella Cookies (and posted them on my blog, lifesrecipes.blogspot.com) about a week ago and they were delicious.
They were definitely more intensive than this, but they were so good. Maybe I’ll make these and do a comparison.

Bless you for this, now I can use up those huge double jars of Nutella my daughter bought at Costco on a whim.
Sherrielynn on 2.28.2011
Ohhhhhh…….how could these not be good! Nutella ranks right up there with a foot massage or relaxing in a hot tub after a long day on the go.
THESE, I gotta try. Thankyou missamy.
Maria on 2.28.2011
Easy and delicious, my kind of recipe!
Wenderly on 2.28.2011
I’ve been making Nutella brownies out the wazoo. Now I must embrace the Nutella cookie too!
Guess I may as well pitch a cot a the gym.
Cheryl on 2.28.2011
This also works by replacing the Nutella with peanut butter. So easy and tasty.
Jodie (allgoodinmommyhood.com) on 2.28.2011
I think they need some chocolate chips – and then they’ll be perfect!
How wonderfully easy – I need to try these (adding chocolate chips) and share on my Desserts page!

Jessica @ How Sweet It Is on 2.28.2011
