Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 egg

Note: have some cooking oil on hand in case your dough is dry - the texture of the Nutella can be different towards the top or bottom of the jar,and depending on how old yourNutella is. Hazelnut oil would be ideal.

As with all recipes, you are going to begin by preheating your oven to 350 F. Then line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set them aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, Nutella and egg.

Portion the dough into 2 Tablespoon sized balls.

If the dough crumbles and doesn't roll into a ball easily, knead some cooking oil into the dough.

Flatten the cookie balls with the bottom of a glass.

If you want to shape the cookies, do it now and remove excess dough.

Place the flattened cookies onto the prepared cookiesheets.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, until set.
