You will not find a simpler from scratch recipe that delivers such bang for your buck in terms of taste.
I found this recipe on sheknows.com and was apprehensive – could it really be any good with just three ingredients and using just one bowl?
As my pantry was Nutella-free I headed off to buy some of the chocolaty, nutty spread. In Aldi – where I go maybe twice a year – I found a palm oil-free version of Nutella. Hurrah! I boycott anything and everything that contains palm oil. No food is worth the death of countless animals including orang-utans so I was thrilled to find this product.
I made the recipe and was instantly smitten. In fact, I made them again a few days later to replenish the empty cookie jar which had been full a mere few days earlier. FYI, the Aldi version is great and you’ll get two batches of this recipe from one jar.
UPDATE: I have just found out that Aldi has taken the incomprehensible step of now using palm oil in their product. Suffice to say I won’t be buying Aldi’s product again #boycott
GATHER:
1 cup Nutella
1 cup plain flour
1 egg
LET’S GET TO IT:
Preheat oven to 180C and line a baking tray with non-sticking baking paper.
Pop all ingredients into bowl of electric mixer and beat until just combines.
Roll walnut size balls then place on trays. Use a fork to make a criss-cross pattern.
Bake for 7-8 minutes, until just firm on the edges.
Remove from oven, place cookies on cooling trays.

Heck yeah! It looks like we are going to be snowed in tomorrow. I think I’m going to make these with the kids.
I know you probably disagree but being snowed in sounds so romantic! Beats the heat and humidity here 😦 Hope you bake these during your snow day.
One off days are not too bad but the kids go a bit ‘Lord of the Flies’ if it goes on for more than a day. At least my fridge and larder are well-stocked. I will report back if I do get a chance to bake these (it requires me having enough Nutella left – my kids dump it on their porridge).
They look great and very easy! My wife and kids would love these 🙂
so very easy – make ’em in an ad break 🙂
Lovely photographs! I love easy recipes, and this sounds yummy! Can’t wait to try it! 🙂
oh, thank you! Trying to up my photography game a bit 🙂 Hope you make these x
Your photographs are great! I’ve enjoyed them. I plan to make the cookies this weekend. 🙂
I also loved the red and white, striped straw in the champagne flute with milk–nice touch! 🙂
yes, I am a classy chick when it comes to drinking milk 😉
Ha! It’s all about attitude. Cheers! 🙂
Big wow. I’m off to Aldi! Didn’t know they had a Nutella version.
I\m so not an Aldi fan but there’s one near work and I thought I’d check it out. Suffice to say – I’ll be going back for more Nutella 🙂
These look delicious and ones that my kids will love! thanks will try soon! 🙂
cheers – these are so easy your kids could make them ;0
yes great idea! 🙂
I’m all for three-ingredient recipes, including pancakes. I’m going to try these. Thanks
yes – 3 ingredients is all I can manage somedays!
Wow, gotta try these, and will look for the palm oil free Nutella, yes indeedy!
yes – it is great and also much cheaper. What’s not to love?!
This looks amazing!
ta – so easy, too!
Another snow day here and thankfully I have some Nutella in the pantry – definitely trying these today!
Oh, everyone with a snow day! So damn hot and humid in Sydney! Hope you got a chance to make them 🙂
I have to try this!
you really do – and you’ll be glad you did!
Brilliant! So simple but they look so good. I’ve chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven at the moment and I was half tempted to stick some nutella in them. Now I’m sorry I didn’t do it!
well, any excuse to do some more baking I say 😉 But I bet yours were perfect.
These biscuits are delizioso, and so quick and easy to make, The palm oil free nuttella from Aldi, makes them almost guilt free! A definite winner all round.
Will be a big hit at the Easter Table.
Thanks Happy Nonna – I reckon these would make a great addition to the Easter table. Have a bella weekend 🙂
Oh my, these look fabulous HM! I’ll definitely be giving this cookies a try sometime soon!
I had NO idea that Nutella had palm oil… it doesn’t say so on the list of ingredients on my (eeeek, hate to admit I have one now…) jar in pantry, though on their website that I just looked at, it quite openly admits it! 😦
Bloody palm oil – the stuff is oi everything. It breaks my heart. I have boycotted so many of my very fav foods coz they contain palm oil. I tell you, easter this year will be v tricky. So many eggs are full of the stuff.
wow, these look amazing! Who knew that cookies could be made with so little? I will have to give these a try very soon!
so much taste for so little effort 🙂 Hope you get to try it!
I love baked goods that only require 3 ingredients. YAY!
3 is the magic baking number 🙂
Wow kids will go crazy for this cookies
Mine sure did – keep getting requests to make them again!
So yummy-looking and just 3 ingredients–sounds great! 🙂
can’t beat a quick and easy recipe 😉
It’s amazing how these cookies have just three ingredients. I am shocked at the amount of products that contain palm oil from shampoo, laundry powder and food products. It’s all so unnecessary. I haven’t bought nutella since finding out it contains palm oil xx
It is depressing how palm oil has worked its way into so many items. I am desperately awaiting the release of an app that allows you to scan products to see if the have palm oil. Can’t tell how many products I now boycott: Burger rings. Blue Ribbon ice cream. Twisties. Crackers. Magnums.
I may have to try these but using my home made Nutella recipe – I do love the stuff and what a great find in Aldi, but it just has so much sugar involved!
you make your own Nutella?! Wow, v impressed! Is it hard to make?
It is easy – check out my post!
I’ve just come back from my Spring break vacation…. my fridge is empty and my pantry as well… I don’t know what I would give for one of your cookies!!!
sending carrier pigeon with Nutella cookies right now x
A friend made these cookies for me ages ago-you’ve reminded me that I need to make them because she told me how easy they were to make! Love three ingredient items! 😀
So so simple! I need to head back to Aldi for some more palm oil-free Nutella.

These look delicious!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for checking out the post Bec 😉
Hello. I would like to know whether the nutella flavor is strong or slight because I want to make these for a small gathering but don’t want to end up with flavorless cookies :). Thanks
They def are NOT flavourless! Every time I make them they are wolfed down and many friends have told me they make them and they are a hit with their family, too.
