These Nutella No Bake Cookies are so easy to make and come together in minutes. If you are looking for a quick and simple dessert, we highly recommend trying these.

We LOVE these Nutella No Bake Cookies! Who would have thought that adding Nutella to no bake cookies would make them even more amazing??I am totally a peanut butter and chocolate junkie, but these cookies are a close second.

One of my favorite recipes of all time are our mom’s No Bake Cookies . They are absolutely delicious.(I know that everyone has their favorite recipe for no bake cookies, but I really think that hers are the best!).

No bake cookie recipes have always been a hit in our house. They’re done quickly, they cool to room temperature fast, and all you need are a few simple ingredients and supplies.

It’s such an easy dessert! The classic version is made with classic peanut butter, but we mixed it up with this one by adding in some easy Nutella or hazelnut spread for that hazelnut flavor.

Ingredient Notes

½ cup butter
½ cup milk
1¾ cup granulated sugar
4 Tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup Nutella
3 cups quick cooking oats

How to make these Nutella No Bake Cookies:

In a saucepan, combine butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder and heat over medium heat. Bring to a rolling boil and let boil for one minute. Remove your saucepan from the heat.
Add Nutella and vanilla to hot mixture and stir until combined. Add oats and stir until completely incorporated.
Drop by spoonfuls onto baking sheets lined with wax paper. Let cool (or you can eat them all warm and gooey- that’s yummy too!).

Storing Nutella No Bake Cookies

I usually keep mine in an airtight container in my fridge or on my counter for up to four days.

These are definitely best when made fresh.

These cookies do freeze pretty well. I usually only freeze them if I know they won’t be eaten for a few days.

Grace Wang says:

This looks so good! Peanut butter ones are also heavenly :) Do you think i could sub in mashed bananas for butter and agave for the sugar and then increase the amount of oats? Thanks!

Hi Grace. When we have made these we have followed the recipe as directed. But let us know how it all works out with the adjustments.

Judee Perculeza says:

I tried this over the weekend, it's really yummy, it's more like a truffle than a cookie :) it's too sweet for my taste though, even after using just 1 1/2c of sugar. I'll lessen it next time. Do you think it will be as delicious and gooey if there is no nutella?

thanks!

Six Sisters says:

We aren't sure! We've only followed the recipe as directed. Let us know if you do some tweaking and how it all turns out! -The Six Sisters

Michelle K says:

Made these for the first time the other night and they were a HUGE hit with colleagues at work (as well as with hubby's colleagues). My 4 year-old and 16 month-old really liked them too. So easy!

Kristin says:

I made these tonight. I just have to say thank you for sharing this!! They are awesome!!

Tracey says:

Thank you! We love Gorilla poops (I have never heard that name, but I love it!) but now that we have a peanut allergy we don't make them anymore. This will be a wonderful replacement.

Angela says:

I made these the other day and they were sooo good!! Took some over to my neighbor and printed out your recipe and they loved them too!! Thank you!!

Paula says:

I am starting to eat breakfast, and this has become my eat-on-the-go, as I'm running out the door breakfast. I added Chia seeds for even more health benefit.

Meg says:

These sound amazing! Do you know how many cookies 1 batch makes, by any chance? :)

Cyd says:

Makes about 24 to 30 cookies. Just depends on the size. Hope this helps! Have a great weekend!

Meg says:

Thanks!

Megan says:

I didn't have milk at home and currently only have a stove top, but I wanted to make something for a birthday treat. I had a can of Coconut milk in the cupboard, so I exchanged the milk for coconut milk.. Turned out good! A bit richer than regular, but still delicious! I hope they are a hit tomorrow with my fellow teachers!

Susan Vilar says:

Found your recipe through Pinterest. Planning to make them for pot luck at work on Friday. Have made the regular No-Bake cookies since I was a kid.... can't wait to try the Nutella version! I've found that Nutella in buttercream is fantastic!!! Nutella when cooked seems to lose all its wonderful flavor for me. I'll be interested to see how this 'stirring in' will do with the Nutella flavor.

Leah says:

Just made these last night. While they' were good, they didn't taste like nutella. I think the cocoa powder covers it up. Next time I make no bakes, I think I'm going to sub the peanut butter/nutella for hazelnut butter and see how that tastes. The cocoa and hazelnut should hopefully make them taste like nutella!

Lorraine parsons says:

I make these all the time. We call them lazy witches. I sometimes add coconut and peanut butter to them.. oh yummy !!!!!

Katherine says:

These were excellent! I made them exactly as instructed and they turned out beautifully. My first time making no-bakes and will definitely be using this recipe again.

Heidi Phipps says:

I love no bake cookies, but the Nutella takes them to another level! Sooo good. I don’t know that I can do it again without Nutella 😁
