Step 1 – Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 170°C (fan-forced).

Line baking trays with baking paper and set aside.

Expert Tips

Use store-bought Nutella – or make your own homemade Nutella.
Storing – place leftover Nutella cookies in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Freeze – wrap well to freeze either the unbaked Nutella cookies dough or baked cookies for up to 3 months.
To make these biscuits extra special, add some chocolate chips or chopped nuts before baking!

FAQs

Is plain flour the same thing as all purpose flour?

Yes, it is! All-purpose is the term widely used in America, while in the UK and Australia, we refer to it as plain flour. Plain (all purpose) flour doesn’t contain any rising agent as self-raising flour does!

Can I use homemade Nutella in this Nutella cookies recipe?

Absolutely! Any store-bought or homemade chocolate hazelnut spread is fine to use, or you can make your own Nutella.

Do I need any equipment to make Nutella cookies?

You don’t need ANY fancy equipment at all! Just a mixing bowl and spoon!
