Tonight, I made Nutella cookies!! There are a couple of different recipes out there, but no matter which one you choose the ingredients are simple.
1 Cup Nutella
1 Cup flour
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar***
Mix ingredients together and roll into 1" balls. Press firmly with the bottom of a glass and bake at 350 for 7-8min or until "set." I did two things differently tonight. I didn't add the sugar (not all recipes call for it) and I used the Jif Hazelnut spread (cheaper version of Nutella).
The batter is a bit dry, but get your hands dirty and finish mixing it that way...it's fun and it helps! I would imagine that a fun and fancy KitchenAid mixer would help as well, but I don't have one...so I just dug in. :) I made my balls bigger than 1"...because I could...so it took a little longer for them to bake. Mine don't look like the picture from the pin...but they taste yummy! They definitely don't need the sugar. However, if yours were ugly looking like mine and you wish to mask that, you can sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for looks and to ramp up the sweetness a bit. I didn't notice a different in the texture or flavor in using the Jif instead of actual Nutella. So, whatever your preference there you are set! These are perfect with coffee, ice cream, milk...or coffee ice cream. ;) Enjoy!!
