Soft and Chunky Nutella Cookies

Plump, M&M topped Nutella cookies on a white kitchen board. A Nutella jar can be seen in the background.

These Nutella cookies are great because they have very few ingredients. Plus they are quick and easy to make and you only have to dirty one bowl!

The other day I was looking in my pantry for baking inspiration when I spotted a large jar of Nutella. That instantly got me thinking about how I could use the Nutella to make something yummy.

I set about looking online for Nutella cookie recipes and I found that there are lots and lots! But me being me I wanted a cookie that was quick and easy to make and without loads of ingredients. So when I found a recipe for Easy Nutella Cookies by Nate at Wanna Bite I was thrilled. Update – unfortunately I don’t have a link to the Wanna Bite recipe as it not available any more.

Stack of 4 cookies on a white board with more cookies placed around the stack and a Nutella jar in the background.

I have made a couple of adjustments to Nate’s recipe – the most obvious being that I added some M&M’s for extra indulgence! I also chilled the mixture before baking just to make it a little easier to work with when forming the cookies.

The alterations that I have made has resulted in cookies don’t spread very much. What you end up with is a soft and chunky cookie. It’s hard to describe their texture, but I’m going to say fudgy because they’re not cakey and they’re not crisp!

Anyway however you want to describe them they are definitely yummy!

Another great thing about these cookies is that they only require mostly staple pantry items. I usually have some Nutella on hand so the only other non-staple item is the mini M&Ms.  Depending on whether or not you’re a regular baker, Nutella and mini M&M’s might be staples in your pantry!

One cookie topped with M&M's is in focus in the foreground. More cookies and a jar of Nutella can be seen out of focus in the background.

If you’re a fan of Nutella you will love the flavour of these cookies. They’ve definitely got the signature chocolate and hazelnut flavour that comes from Nutella! They’re great hot or cold but I can’t resist them straight from the oven when the M&M’s are still soft!

These Nutella Cookies are so easy to make they’re dangerous! I’ll be able to make up a quick batch of these whenever I have a craving for cookies!
