What seems like only a moment ago, I promised on Instagram and Facebook that I would share the recipe for these insanely good Nutella cookies that won the heart of my children (here’s hoping I already had their hearts, come to think of it). Since then, I have had many lovely people gently prompt me (sometimes I need this, so thank you) when promised cookies would arrive. A quick check back through my Insta posts revealed that I am lousy at my promises. To find them, I had to scroll back many full fingers. But here they are. Finally!
We’ve had some big distractions of late. We launched our wonderful new website a few weeks ago (which you are on right now but here is the cooking classes link – should you be interested & here is the link to our tours also).
In celebration of World Nutella Day, I give you (finally) these Nutella cookies. Gracie declared them “the best cookie I’ve ever had” and that’s a big call cause she’s had like a gazillion cookies in her lifetime that girl.
Feel free to get back to me about these delicious Nutella cookies. I love receiving your comments & feedback & my hope is that for you, too, they are ‘the best cookie I’ve ever had.”
Love to you all,
Nellie

Nuts for Nutella Cookies
Equipment
- Electric mixer
- Oven
- Baking trays
Ingredients
- 150 g unsalted butter softened
- 150 g caster sugar
- 150 g brown sugar
- 2 free-range eggs
- 130 g dark chocolate couverture buttons or chunks
- 70 g milk chocolate couverture buttons or chunks
- 300 g plain flour
- 50 g dutch cocoa powder
- 20 g baking powder
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tablespoon full cream milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 120 g Nutella plus extra for topping
- ½ teaspoon sea salt plus extra for sprinkling before baking
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170°C.
- Combine the butter and sugars using electric beaters until well combined and lightly coloured. Add the eggs, one at a time.
- Add all other remaining ingredients and whisk/beat on low until well incorporated.
- Line baking trays with baking paper. Shape the cookie dough into balls – each weighing around 50g. Place on the trays with room for spreading. Gently flatten each cookie to be about 1 cm thick. Poke gently in the middle of each cookie to make a small dent (not all the way through). Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of Nutella into each hole.
- Sprinkle with a little sea salt.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
