Nutella No-Bake Cookies
A super simple no-bake cookie recipe using Nutella to bind together oats, along with a handful of other ingredients for texture and flavor.
Equipment
- Dutch Oven Or large sauce pan.
- Rubber Spatula
- Cookie Scoop Or large spoon.
- Cookie Sheet
- Parchment Paper Optional but handy.
Ingredients
- 3 Cups Quick-Cook Oats
- 1½ Cups Sugar
- ½ Cup Butter
- ½ Cup Milk
- ½ Cup Nutella
- 3 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper for ease of handling the cookies when they're done.
- In your sauce pan or dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sugar, milk, and cocoa powder to the butter, stirring to combine. Bring this to a boil and boil for about one minute. This helps temper the chocolate and let the cookies set.
- Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat. Stir in the Nutella and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
- Stir in the oats until they're coated and well-mixed.
- Start scooping or spooning your mixture onto your sheet, as large or as small and in whatever shape you prefer. I like tablespoon-sized cookies so the batch makes more and lasts longer.
- Put your cookies in the fridge or freezer for 15 minutes to chill and set. From there, they'll be shelf-stable at room temperature, and you can enjoy them as long as they'll last!
