Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup Nutella® hazelnut spread with cocoa
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace: Line two small cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Boil the sugar mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, butter, and milk. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and allow it to boil for 1 minute, then immediately remove from heat to prevent burning.
- Add Nutella and vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract and Nutella until the mixture becomes creamy and fully combined, ensuring the flavor is evenly distributed.
- Mix in oats: Add the old-fashioned oats, stirring thoroughly until all the oats are well coated with the Nutella mixture.
- Form the cookies: Drop the mixture by 2-tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets, arranging about 8 cookies per sheet for a nice size.
- Set and cool: Let the cookies cool for approximately 15 minutes or until they are fully set and hold together well.
- Serve and enjoy: Once set, enjoy these delicious no-bake Nutella oatmeal cookies as a quick snack or dessert.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture; quick oats may result in softer cookies.
- Ensure the sugar mixture reaches a rolling boil for proper setting of the cookies.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of low-fat milk.
- These cookies are gluten-free only if certified gluten-free oats are used.
