It’s my favourite time of the month: Secret Recipe Club reveal day!
If you don’t know what Secret Recipe Club is, seriously check it out. It is an amazing group of bloggers cooking and sharing recipes from each others blogs. It is a great way to get to know other bloggers, and try out some of their creations.
This month, I was assigned Sally’s blog Bewitching Kitchen. And from this awesome blog with an awesome name comes a truly awesome author. Sally is a biochemist (super cool!), fitness fanatic and lively dog owner. She even has a “science” tab detailing her research. And, thankfully, another one of her interests is food.
I could get lost in her recipes.. and have done so over the past couple of days. While many of her recipes are savoury (aka: not something I make too often), I have found some sweet recipes that I really want to try. I mean, doesn’t “Post-Workout Chia Yogurt Bliss” sound like something you could eat for days? I have bookmarked it, and will be back soon.
But what I really want to talk about are these Nutella drop cookies!!
I was not expecting this kind of texture in these cookies at all. It almost tastes like shortbread and Nutella made a delicious soft and crumbly baby.
These cookies are addicting as heck! I am not ashamed to admit that I ate a handful of these cookies over the sink as a replacement for dinner on Friday.
…Okay, I am a little ashamed of that.
But that is just a testament to how good these cookies are! And perfect to stick inside a little one’s lunch box as a back to school treat. I know I will be making more taking a couple to work with me next week.
If you try this recipe, let me know! Rate it, leave a comment and tag me with #atasteofmadness on Instagram! I always love seeing what you are creating!
Nutella Drop Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and icing sugar until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract. Mix in the flour one cup at a time until fully incorporated. Beat in the Nutella.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop the cookie dough onto the baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool on pans for around 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- I use this medium cookie scoop to make the cookies uniform in size.
- Store cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.
Delicious looking cookies and that despite the very few ingredients. I would love to try them, I bet my kids would love them, they love anything which includes Nutella. 🙂
Isn't Nutella the food of the gods? Now, I need to advise you on the proper way to eat cookies by the sink… one leg should go up midway on the thigh of the other leg, which I call "flamingo pose"
it is classy. Goes well with munching by the sink… 😉
thanks for the write up and so glad you enjoyed the cookies!
Ha ha "soft and crumbly baby." You have a way with words and have convinced me I "need" these cookies. Love Sally's blog and would have very hard time deciding what to make!
I bought my very first jar of Nutella just a month ago to make some fudge, and now you've convinced me to buy my second jar. Those do look good.
Oh yum! I can see why you picked this recipe. Who could resist such perfect cookies?
Nutella is my true love. I want a cookie!
Mmmmmm! Hahah, I myself have been on a cookie-baking roll as well over the last couple of weeks! I shared your nutella cookie recipe from before the other day actually! But have made two batches of other cookies since… I cannot stop!
These sound wonderful, and I like crumble biscuits too! Having grown up on Scandi butter biscuits – these here are something I can definitely dig! Thanks for the recipe Cathleen 🙂 Hope back to work goes well 😀 xx
A shortbread and Nutella baby? YES! I want a cookie, badly. Love Sally's blog, and you did it well. Wonderful SRC choice! — Dorothy at Shockingly Delicious
I love Nutella and these cookies look good.
These cookie would be great for this christmas, so I have to mention it in my blog 🙂 Thanks…
Any cookie with nutella sounds amazing! They look like they have the most incredible texture. I was expecting you to say they were chewy, but a crumbly shortbread texture sounds even better! These would be a big hit in my house!
They are a huge hit in my house! Thanks Leanne 🙂
Can’t get enough Nutella! These look so soft and chewy, my favorite kind of cookie!
Me neither!! They are definitely a favourite around here!
I love how easy these look to make, and would love to try a gluten free version. I know my kids would be super happy if I made them 🙂
Ooh yes! I hope you give it a try with gluten free flour! 😉
This looks super tasty!! I can’t wait to give it a try! It’s all delicious ingredients 🙂
I’m addicted to these cookies!
Love, love these cookies! They’re so wonderfully soft with the perfect Nutella flavor. I’m already excited to bake them again.
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
I really like that you can make these with only a few ingredients. My husband loves nutella so I’m saving this recipe for him 🙂
Yay! Hope your husband loves them as much as we do!
These cookies are wicked good! Everyone loved them and they disappeared fast! Loved them.
That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
My boys went crazy after we tried this cookie. They love Nutella and to have the flavor in cookies was something they really liked. And such a quick-to-make recipe too!
That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
You had me at Nutella, but these cookies were even more delicious than I expected. Now I need to make another batch so my family can try them…
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
Oh wow! anything nutella and Im sold so I simply had to try these! They came out fab!!
That makes me so good to hear!
My new go-to cookie recipe! I usually have all the ingredients on hand so I can whip these delicious cookies up in no time at all. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome! So glad you liked it 🙂
I’ve made 2 batches of these cookies this week alone because they are so good! My kids just keep asking for them. The Nutella was a great choice!
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
Great way to use up Nutella – these cookies were soft and delicious, just as described. Can’t wait to make again!
I’m so glad you liked it as much as we do 🙂
This cookie recipe had me at the use of Nutella!! The cookies came out soft and chewy just the way I like them. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
