Nutella lovers rejoice! These 4-Ingredient Flourless Nutella Cookies are a delicious dream come true.
Just 4 Ingredients
For the love of Nutella, you’ve got to bake these Flourless Nutella cookies! You’d never believe they were made with just 4 ingredients unless you’re the one who made them. Hands down one of the best cookies I’ve ever eaten.
They’re perfect proof that you don’t need a lot of ingredients and a lot of time to bake something amazing!
Tip: Double the Recipe
Warm, crisp around the edges, chewy and chocolate-y in the middle cookies ready to enjoy. Full of that distinct Nutella flavor, what’s not to love?! If you’re a fan of chocolate and hazelnut, my Nutella Cruffins and Nutella Brownies will hit the spot.
This is one of those cookie recipes that I always have the ingredients on hand for, that I can bake on a whim when that cookie craving hits and that everyone loves.
Pro tip though: go ahead and double the batch! They always always disappear as soon as I put them out and have everyone begging for more.
Ingredients and Supplies
(see recipe card at the bottom of this post for measurements and details. To learn more about specific baking ingredients and how they function in baking recipes, reference my Complete Guide to Baking Ingredients)
Ingredients:
- Nutella – or any brand of chocolate hazelnut spread
- Quick-cooking oats – you can use old-fashioned oats instead, but you’ll want to blend them a bit first by themselves before adding the Nutella and egg to the blender
- Egg
- Chocolate chips
Supplies:
- Blender
- Cookie scoop
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray
How to Make Flourless Nutella Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a powerful blender, blend the Nutella, oats and egg until well combined. Oats should be finely ground and dough should be thick.
- Transfer dough to a mixing bowl and stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop 2-tablespoon sized portions of dough a few inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Press down slightly on the top of each scoop of cookie dough to flatten a bit.
- Bake for 10 minutes, rotating cookie sheet halfway through.
- Let cookies cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes before transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Storage
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
To freeze baked cookies: Wrap cookies individually in plastic wrap. Then place in a freezer-safe container or in individual freezer-safe baggies. To defrost, let them set at room temperature, uncovered.
To freeze the cookie dough for baking later: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 2 tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet. Scoops of dough can be close together at this point. Place baking sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Take the cookie dough out of the freezer and transfer to a freezer-safe plastic container or freezer-safe plastic bag. Return the dough to the freezer and store until ready to bake. Cookie dough can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To Bake Frozen Cookie Dough: When craving a cookie, simply remove the number of cookie dough scoops you want from the freezer and place a few inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 11-13 minutes or until cookies start to brown and crisp around the edges.

Hi, can you grind the oats and just knead the batter together?
Hi Marlene! Absolutely, I would just recommend blending the oats well and beating the egg well before combining all of the ingredients. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
