Nutella Cookies
Whether you looooove Nutella or are just a chocolate lover in general, you will looooove this Nutella Cookie recipe! Honestly, I thought they were going to be good, but they are even better than I could have imagined. After Patrick sunk his teeth into our new obsession, his first words were, “Are you kidding me?!” No, I would not kid about something as important as Nutella Cookies. Patrick, you might have finally found a cookie to rival your favorite S’mores Cookies.
These Nutella Cookies are definitely making it onto my plate of Christmas neighbor/friend goodies this year. Do you have a tradition of holiday neighbor/friend cookie exchange? Every since I was a little girl, it has been a tradition to load up plates and plates of all our favorite Christmas treats and bring them to friends and neighbors. Making and sampling these cookies, bars and popcorn while singing along to the good ol’ stuff like Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” by The Carpenters, “Silent Night”by Ella Fitzgerald and many more are some of my most cherished memories. My family never missed a year to spread this good cheer with Christmas plates loaded with Mom’s Famous Mint Brownies, Rice Krispie Wreaths (with ornaments out of skittles and bows out of red vines), and Sugar Cookies, and now I have a new favorite to add to the list, these Nutella Cookies!
How do you make Nutella cookies?
How to Customize Nutella Cookies
To make these Nutella Cookies more “Christmasy,” I like to add a cup of Andes’ Creme Baking Bits. It infuses them with peppermint without tasting over the top or too much like a candy cane. Here are some more add-in ideas:
Reese’s Pieces (as pictured, my fav) chocolate chipis butterscotch chips toffee bits Andes’ Creme De Menthe Baking Bits Baking Chips (perfect for Christmas)
Another personal favorite of mine (and Patrick’s) is the Reese’s Pieces made for ice cream (the orange yellow candies in the pics). They have a crunchy outside with chocolate inside that blends beautifully with the soft and chewy Nutella Cookies.
Can I Freeze Nutella Cookies?
Yes! Both the nutella cookie dough and the baked Nutella Cookies can be frozen.
HOW TO FREEZE NUTELLA COOKIE DOUGH:
Roll balls per instructions and fit as many as you can on a parchment/nonstick lined baking sheet without touching. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the balls until outsides are hard (about 1-2 hours). Transfer to a freezer size plastic bag and freeze. Nutella cookie dough should freeze well for up to 3 months. To BAKE: Place frozen cookie dough balls on a lined baking sheet and bake according to instructions, adding a couple extra minutes to cook time.
HOW TO FREEZE BAKED NUTELLA COOKIES
Fit as many COOLED baked Nutella Cookies on a parchment/nonstick mat lined baking sheet without touching. Place the baking sheet(s) in the freezer and freeze until solid (about 1 hour). Transfer to a freezer size plastic bag and freeze. To EAT: When you want to enjoy a Nutella Cookie, take it out and let it sit at room temperature, warm in the microwave at 10 second intervals or warm it in the oven for a few minutes.
And you can’t go wrong with these Nutella Cookies bursting with hazelnut chocolate in every bite. Whether you make these cookies for Christmas or make them for a barbecue in July, I know you are going to looooove these Customizable Nutella Cookies! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with lots and lots of Nutella Cookies!
