• Mix the dough until it’s completely smooth. You’ll want to make sure to stir the dough until it’s completely smooth and consistent throughout. You’ll want to avoid any pockets of flour, as they will affect the overall texture of the baked cookies.
• Make sure the dough balls are similar in size. To promote even-baking, portion out the dough balls into as evenly-sized pieces as possible. If you want to take the guesswork out completely, enlist the help of a cookie scoop.
• Don’t over bake the cookies. To prevent the cookies from losing that chewy texture, avoid over baking them. They might look a little undercooked after 10 minutes, but they will harden at room temperature.

Different Variations for Nutella Cookies

Looking to make these Nutella cookies your own? There are so many fun little variations you can play around with each time you make them

• Chocolate Chips: Add in your favorite chocolate chips to the cookie dough – we like semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips the most!
• Sea Salt Flakes: Add a sprinkle of coarse sea salt on top of the cookies to create a nice sweet and salty flavor. Maldon is our favorite brand!
• Sprinkles: If you’re making the cookies for kids, swap out the chopped hazelnuts for rainbow sprinkles.

Storing & Freezing Nutella Cookies

There are three different ways you can store your Nutella cookies – on counter, in the fridge, or in the freezer.

• Room Temperature: If you plan to eat your cookies within 5 days (trust me, it’s not hard!), store them on the counter in an airtight container.
• Refrigerator: If you want your cookies to last longer, you can store them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
• Freezer: To freeze your baked cookies, first allow them to cool completely at room temperature. Next, assemble them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop the sheet in the freezer until the cookies are completely frozen. Transfer them to a plastic storage bag for up to three months. To thaw, allow the cookies to sit at room temperature for a couple of hours
