FAQs
Is plain flour the same thing as all purpose flour?
Yes, it is! All-purpose is the term widely used in America, while in the UK and Australia, we refer to it as plain flour. Plain (all purpose) flour doesn't contain any rising agent as self-raising flour does!
Can I use homemade Nutella in this Nutella cookies recipe?
Absolutely! Any store-bought or homemade chocolate hazelnut spread is fine to use, or you can make your own Nutella.
Do I need any equipment to make Nutella cookies?
You don't need ANY fancy equipment at all! Just a mixing bowl and spoon!

Genuinely a bit shocked with how well these turned out! Was craving a late night snack without the hassle of a complicated recipe. This recipe looked slightly too good to be true, especially when I tasted the batter before baking and it was a little more floury than standard cookie dough. However I could not be more impressed with how they turned out when I took them out the oven and left them to cool. They are so delicious and chewy (something which I can never manage with normal cookie recipes!!) Very glad I tried them !Reply

Yay! I'm so thrilled to hear that!

I made these last night. The mix looked quite dry. Is this normal? I added a splash of milk. They turned out beautiful and fudgy with that hit of Nutella being unmistakable. Thanks Lucy 🙂Reply
Lucy
Hi Tammy, the Nutella keeps them super fudgy!
