Easy-to-make no-bake Nutella cookies are rich, chewy, and packed with irresistible chocolate hazelnut flavor.

Sure classic no-bake cookies are amazing. But what if you swap the peanut butter for creamy Nutella? Hello, my new favorite no-bake cookie!

I swear I could eat the whole batch on my own. But then again, I never have to because my husband and son are always more than happy to help.

Give the recipe a try and I am sure you will fall in love with them as well. The chocolate-hazelnut flavor combination really is irresistible.

Ingredients

You will need:

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¾ cup Nutella
  • 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ½ cups quick-cook oats

Substitutions and additions

  • Old-fashioned oats: While quick oats result in perfectly tender cookies, you can also use old-fashioned oats if that is all you have on hand. However, I would recommend throwing them in your food processor for a few seconds to break them down a bit. Otherwise, your cookies will be chewier and have a different texture than if you had used quick-cook oats.
  • Hazelnut extract: To bump up the hazelnut flavor add ½ of the hazelnut extract and cut the vanilla to ½ teaspoon.
  • Coconut: Love coconut? Try adding ½ cup coconut when you stir in the oats.

How to make Nutella no-bake cookies

Step 1: Add sugar, butter, and milk to a large saucepan and bring to a roiling boil over medium heat, stirring often. Let boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Step 2: Remove from heat and immediately stir in the Nutella, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt until well combined. Add the oats and stir gently until well coated.

Storage

  • Countertop: Nutella no-bake cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Place a sheet of wax paper between each layer to prevent sticking.
  • Freezer: For longer storage, you can freeze cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw to room temperature before serving.

Recipe Tips

  • Measure out all of your ingredients before you begin. This will help you to work quickly later.
  • Make sure the butter, milk, and sugar mixture come to a full rolling boil before you start your 60 second timer.
  • Once you remove the pot from the stove work quickly to add the remaining ingredients and get your cookies scooped onto the baking sheets before they start to set.
