This was very easy but a little too crumbly for my taste (the dough). It just made an extra step after scooping out the dough and then squishing together with my hands. I’ve been spoiled never touching cookie dough for the past number of years – I love my scoops.
The end result was tasty and my 8-yr-old was able to do quite a bit of the job.

These are delicious and super simple… I am in grad school and I even had all 4 of the ingredients in the pantry haha!
I needed a quick little goodie to get me through this studying… and this recipe was perfect!
I like my cookies “gooey” so it hit the spot for me and my sweetheart… thank you so much sharing!
So quick and easy

This recipe makes a tasty, simple cookie that reminded me of a thin brownie. I preferred the cookies that I just barely flattened to those that I made much thinner. They do seem to spread quite a bit in the oven.
Two Modifications:
(1) I didn’t have quite enough Nutella, so I added about two tablespoons of creamy peanut butter to make 1 Cup. It was good, didn’t change the prominent Nutella flavor, & makes me want to try substituting peanut butter for Nutella.
(2) I put some raw sugar (large grains) on a plate, put the dough ball on the sugar, then flattened it with a glass. The little disc of dough still came off easily from the bottom of the glass, & then I put the dough sugar side up on the cookie sheet. The result was a little crunch from the sugar topping, which added a great texture dimension to this chewy cookie. Dipping the bottom of the glass in sugar to press the dough ball right on the baking sheet did not work; rolling the dough in sugar then pressing didn’t produce much of a difference; so the press, peel, & flip method was the best.

we are nutty about nutella in our household, so had to try these.
these were wonderful! my husband loved them, and i didn’t even tell him until after he’d tasted them that i substituted half of the flour with whole wheat flour (pantry running low).
i was worried the whole wheat would make them too crumbly or bland, but they were perfect.
these are chewy, lovely chocolately and not too sweet.
so so good and will make again!!
thank you, A Busy Nest!!

These are so good and so easy. They’re like that brownie you get from the edge of the pan, where part is all soft, and part is chewy with a slight crisp to the edge? Like that, but it’s a cookie. Mmm.
I also had to add a tbsp of water to get the dough to bind more easily.

Success! I did alter the recipe, but I’m still giving it 5 stars, as I’m sure it’s delicious on it’s own. Regardless, I wouldn’t have had anything without it!
I didn’t want to use up all of my Nutella, so I used about 1/2 cup of Nutella and about a 1/4 cup of chunky organic peanut butter. As others suggested, I added about a Tbsp of water to wet the dough. Baked at 350 for only 6 minutes to make sure they would be soft and chewy. Made 24 small, about 2″, cookies. All in all I spent less than 20 minutes in the kitchen. Super easy and so good!

My daughter and her friends are crazy for nutella-will definitely be making this for them!

These are delicious!!!! But you have to be patient, they taste best when they have cooled.

My cookies did not come out right… I have no idea what happened. I did the recipe. They were SO crumby.

Great recipe, I tried it right after coming across it! Please visit my blog for the post!

Even if crumbly after mixing, the cookie holds together after forming a ball with your hands. If you fold dry ingredients into Nutella and Ali gently beaten egg, batter is not crumbly. If you dip bottom od glass in granulated sugar before flattening, glass does not stick.

I just made these and my Mario is in his glory..
one note i added an extra egg because the mixture was too crumbly and i could not form the dough balls.. but over all this is a recipe im adding to my children’s recipe book..( this will be a hit in college for my daughter as well as my son mario next year) !!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first batch was dry and crumbly, and I thought to myself, what makes a cookie better? Actually, what makes everything better? BUTTER!! So I added 2 tbs. softened butter to the second batch and MUAH! these cookies were UH-mazing. I thought about adding an egg–I might try that in a future batch. But I would recommend adding 1/4 cup softened butter to the recipe given here.
