“Everyone is kneaded out of the same dough but not baked in the same oven” – Yiddish Proverb
These are my very first no bake cookies . No bake cookies are a great option when you have a cookie or chocolate craving (or a Nutella craving in this case) and are in no mood to switch on the oven . You could of course have a piece of candy or a spoonful of Nutella ( I ALWAYS stop at ONE spoonful ;-P) , but these cookies take just a little bit more of your effort and time , and taste so much more yum !
It takes only a few every day ingredients – milk, butter, cocoa , sugar – for the cookie base. You bring them to a boil on the stove top and let it heat for a couple more minutes. This is necessary so that the chocolate mixture holds the cookie together so don’t rush through this. You add in the Nutella and vanilla . And them dump in heaps of oats . I used quick cooking as I had them on hand , but many recipes use good old fashioned rolled oats or cornflakes instead.
I tweaked this recipe ever so slightly . Quite happy with the end result. I mean its chocolate + butter + sugar + Nutella , its a cookie that comes together in minutes , you have one pot to clean , its crunchy and delicious – whats not to be happy about.
See? 10 minutes and you have cookies! So easy even a kid can make them . Perfect for the days you want to give your dear oven a break. The heavenly taste of Nutella is there and all the wholesomeness of those oats! These taste way too good for something thats way too easy!
I made these for July’s Creative Cookie Exchange where all of us are resting our ovens with delicious No bake cookies! Check out below what the others have made!
No bake Nutella cookies
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for upto 4 days.
- You can chill in the freezer if you are in a rush or eat warm too.
- You can replace the same amount of corn flakes or old fashioned oats .
Thats what I tell myself when I have one too many Karen!
These do sound scrumptious! I love all of the ingredients, and the oats make them “healthy,” right?
Thats so true Linda… who doesn’t!!
This was my first no bake cookie too! I love what you came up with – ’cause who doesn’t like Nutella, Chocolate wrapped up in a crunchy cookie?! 🙂
