Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies. I can’t claim them to be my idea. In all actuality, I made them at the request of Little Buddy.
You see, even though we’ve had Nutella in our house for years, he hasn’t really “fallen in love” with it until this past week at camp. In preparation for his week away from home, I packed little single serve packets of his favorite peanut butter into his camp trunk and, on a whim, I tossed in one of the single serving packs of Nutella that I saw in the grocery store.
Since he’s been home, it really has been the only food item that he’s requested.
“Mama, are you going to the store today? If you do, will you get me some more Nutella?”
“Mama, in the morning, I just want Nutella toast for breakfast. Okay?”
“Mama, can we make Nutella sandwiches for lunch today?”
and the list goes on…
Finally, yesterday afternoon, with his big eyes looking at me pleadingly and a slight curve to his lip with his smirky smile, he asked me if I could make him some Nutella cookies.
When I said sure, he followed it with…
“but not just any ol’ Nutella cookies. Can you make them with chocolate chips? And a little bit chewy? And Mama, can you make them taste really, really good?”
My reply?
Well, like any good Mama, I said, ” Of course, but I bet I’ll need your help to make them just like you want them.”
And you know what? These are now our favorite cookies in our house.
It sure is amazing what comes out of such sweet requests.
Here’s the Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe we came up with. Let me tell you, it’s a keeper for sure!

Made these this morning and they turned out beautifully! I’ve had these saved for forever, but I never had enough Nutella to try them, haha! But Costco’s 2 giant jars for $11.99 made these cookies happen (even if it was Christmas-Eve morning, a few hours before our gathering). Thanks for a great recipe!
I made these for Christmas presents and then for a Ladies’ Night gathering! They’re a big hit and the recipe makes a ton which is fantastic, thanks!
Dear Robyn
Great recipe! I tried it with gluten free flour (as my husband has celiac disease). The taste is amazing but when I baked them, the dough went flat on the baking tray and I end up with 1 giant cookie.
How can I avoid this from happening? Maybe letting the dough rest in the fridge?
Thank you for a tip! Congratulations on your page! It is amazing
I just found your blog and have already printed off multiple recipes. I cannot wait to try these cookies! Also, the photos of your food are amazing and make your food look amazing and delicious! Thank you.
These cookies were quite a disaster. They spread way too thin and looked like pancakes. The batter tasted alright but the finished product did not live up to our expectations. Any ideas of what went wrong?
Hi Katie,
So sorry you had a bad experience with these cookies. Cookies spread like that for a few reasons, not enough flour, too much butter, the butter to soft, etc. I’ve made these repeatedly without having too much spread on them and they turn out like my photo.
