Nutella Cookies | Eggless Cookie Recipes

Eggless Nutella cookies recipe with step by step photos. I have posted recently various cookies recipes in my blog as I have been experimenting various cookies for my little one.Nutella is always a hit among the kids and so are these cookies.These cookies are loaded with nutella and one can even add little more nutella frosting on top and add few sprinkles to make it even more attractive for the kids.

Nutella cookies are extremely easy to prepare,do give a try to treat your little ones with the home made cookies.Cookies always taste best with a glass of chilled milk and my little one loves to dunk the cookie in the milk and eat it.Home made cookies are lot better in terms of quality compared to the store bought ones and also one can reduce the quantity of sugar and butter that goes in it and hence I choose to bake my own cookies.

Eggless Nutella Cookies Recipe:
yields : 16-18 cookies | Author: Prathibha
Prep time: 15 mins | Baking time: 12 mins | Total time: 30 mins
Cuisine: International | Category: Snacks-Cookies

Ingredients:
1/2 cup All purpose flour
1/4 tsp Baking powder
3 tbsp Sugar,powdered
3 tbsp Butter,at room temperature
3 tbsp Nutella
1/4 tsp Vanilla essence
1-2 tsp Milk,if needed

Method:

• In a bowl add butter at room temperature, sugar , nutella and vanilla essence and whisk it using a hand whisker until you get a creamy mixture.

• Add flour and baking powder to the creamed butter-nutella mixture and mix it nicely.If needed add a couple of teaspoons of milk to form a dough.Do not knead it just gather the mixture to a dough, add little milk just to form a dough.I did not add any milk as it was not needed.

• Use a measuring spoon ,I used 1/2 tbsp spoon and scoop out the mixture and form a ball with it and press it slightly and place it on the parchment paper or baking sheet laid on the baking tray.

• Repeat the process and prepare all the cookies and place it on the parchment giving some space in between for them to expand while baking. Keep the tray in the fridge for 10 mins until the oven gets preheated,you can bake it immediately in the preheated oven but there are chances that they might not have proper shapes and expand more.
• Preheat the oven at 180 deg C/350 deg F for 12-15 mins.
• Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 12-15 mins. Do not bake them for long as they will turn hard if baked for long, just bake until they are nicely puffed up.
  

• When you touch the top of the cookie it will be soft but will hold its shape as it gets cooled.
• Remove the tray and let the cookies sit on the tray for 8-10 mins and then slowly remove them on to the wire rack and let them cool completely.

Store them in an air tight container.Serve with a glass of chilled milk.

Notes:

1. Add little milk just enough to gather the mixture to form a dough, do not knead it.
2. You can add chocolate chips while making the dough for Choco chip Nutella cookies.
3. I usually prefer to chill the cookies spread on the baking tray before baking to avoid them to spread more while baking.
4. You can sieve the flour with the baking powder before adding to the wet ingredients.
5. Add 1-2 tsp of Corn flour along with the flour which gives lighter cookies.
6. You can double the ingredients for a large batch of cookies.
