Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cup
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine Nutella, flour, and egg, mixing until a thick, moist dough forms.
  • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls using your hands.
  • Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet, then gently flatten each with your fingertips or the bottom of a glass.
  • Bake the cookies for 8–10 minutes, just until the edges are set and the centers remain slightly soft.
  • Once out of the oven, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Slightly damp hands can make rolling the dough smoother and less sticky.
  • Use a small cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies.
