Whether you need to fill your Christmas cookie plate or you have unexpected visitors, these straightforward chocolate Nutella thumbprint cookies with a melty dollop of Nutella in the middle of the cookies are the ideal solution when you need an easy cookie recipe. <\/p>\n

These Nutella thumbprint cookies have become one of my favorite cookie recipes in no time. Nutella lovers, these are the easiest way to get your fix – well other than eating a spoonful of Nutella straight from the jar!<\/p>\n

They have just the right consistency – wonderfully chocolatey and they can be either soft or crispy, depending on your preference. And can we talk about that delicious soft core of melty Nutella in the center of the cookie?<\/p>\n

 You can prepare these Nutella cookies in less than 30 minutes, including baking time,  and they are true 3-ingredient cookies; you only need chocolate hazelnut spread, an egg, and flour. I will add an optional 1\/4 cup of butter for those who want these extra rich. Adding a pinch of salt is also recommended to enhance the chocolate flavor.<\/p>\n

Usually, I’m skeptical about recipes with very few ingredients, but these cookies are truly delicious. To ensure they turn out perfectly, I opted for a higher fat content and omitted additional sugar. I experimented with various ingredient ratios, and this one yielded the best results.<\/p>\n

You don’t need cookie cutters for this recipe. You can simply scoop small portions with your hands, roll them into balls, and then use the handle of a wooden spoon or your finger to create a well in the center of each cookie.<\/p>\n

In terms of taste and texture, these Nutella cookies are reminiscent of brownies, a bit like my Nutella Brownies<\/a>, making them a delight for true chocoholics.<\/p>\n

Just like with brownies, it’s crucial not to overbake these Nutella cookies; they should still be soft when you take them out of the oven. Depending on whether you extend or reduce the baking time, the cookies will be either crispy like a classic thumbprint recipe or softer.<\/p>\n

Every oven is slightly different and may not heat evenly, so it’s a good idea to check a minute or two earlier to avoid overbaking. Immediately after baking, they must still be somewhat soft because they will firm up a bit with time, and storing them for several days could make them dry.<\/p>\n
