Nutella no bake cookies are a spin off the classic chocolate no bake cookies, but with hazelnut spread used instead of peanut butter. If you love Nutella, you will love these easy, no bake cookies.
Nutella No Bake Cookies
Print RecipeIngredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 2 cups white granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup hazelnut spread (Nutella)
- 3 cups quick cooking oats
Instructions
Tear off a long piece of foil or parchment paper, and place on the counter for your cookies to set on.
In a medium-sized sauce pot, on medium heat on your stovetop, add the butter, evaporated milk, sugar and cocoa powder to the pot. Stir mixture regularly. Once mixture comes to a boil, set timer for one minute. Stir the mixture continuously for that entire minute (mixture should be at a full, rolling boil during that time). Do not boil for longer than one minute!
Remove mixture from the stove and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Add the hazelnut spread into the hot mixture and stir until it is mostly melted and incorporated into the mixture. Add the quick oats one cup at a time to the mixture, stirring each cup in fully before adding the next cup. When adding the last cup of oats, add the oats very slowly. If it looks like your cookies will be too dry, do not add the entire cup of oats. Your mixture should still look moist and cookies will set once they are scooped out onto the wax paper.
Use a standard sized cookie scoop to drop scoops of cookie onto the foil. Before the cookies set, use the back of a metal spoon to shape the scoops of cookies so they are flat and round like a regular cookie.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature. No bake cookies stay fresh for 3-4 days.

February 27, 2017 at 12:25 PMIs that expresso powder in the picture? Is it used in place of the cocoa?
Kelly
February 27, 2017 at 12:30 PMYes…I had added two teaspoons of espresso powder to try and make these cookies have a mocha flavor, but it did not really come through. Make the recipe as the recipe is written out. Option to add the espresso powder as an additional ingredient. It can help to bring out the chocolate flavor. Read the narrative in the post on adding the optional espresso powder for directions. 🙂

February 27, 2017 at 9:29 PMI love all the different no-bakes you come up with babe but these have to be one of my favorites. I mean how can you go wrong with Nutella?! These were sweet hearty cookies that the guys at the firehouse LOVED with their morning coffee!

February 27, 2017 at 9:56 PMI was so unsure about this combo of no bake cookie that I came up with, so that makes me so happy that you loved them and all the guys liked them too. They definitely go great with a cup of coffee. And there’s oats in them, which is like oatmeal…so breakfast!
