    How To Make Nutella Cookies

    Ingredients in a bowl.

    Step One: Make The Cookie Dough

    In a medium-sized bowl mix the dry chocolate pudding mix, an egg, and the Nutella until fully combined.

    This nutella cookie recipe only makes a small batch which is good if you are making them for one or two people, but if you are baking for a family you can easily double the recipe.

    Step Two: Coat The Dough 

    Form the dough into balls using a #60 (one tablespoon) cookie scoop. Place the cookie dough in a small bowl of sanding sugar and roll it to coat all sides.

    Step Three: Flaten and Bake

    Cover a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Place each ball of dough on the mat leaving space in between them. Using the back of a fork, flatten the dough making a crosshatch pattern.  

    Then, bake the cookies at 350˚F for 8-12 minutes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I have to use sanding sugar?

    No, you do not have to. Sanding sugar has bigger crystals and is used as an edible decoration. You can use turbinado sugar for a similar texture. Using granulated sugar will work as well but will make the outside of the cookies less crunchy.

    What can I add to these cookies?

    Try adding nuts, butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, sprinkles, or small candies.

    What can I use instead of Nutella?

    You could try peanut butter, almond butter, or another nut butter for a different flavor.

    Can I use a different flavor of pudding?

    Yes, you could try a flavor such as vanilla, oreo cookies and creme, white chocolate, or cheesecake.
