I’m a big fan of no bake recipes, and these Nutella no bake cookies are a staple at my house. They take just 15 minutes to make with only 8 ingredients, and they taste so good! Filled with chewy oats and creamy Nutella, they have such a great taste and texture. They taste super delicious chilled, too, which makes them a great summertime snack. My kiddos love them as much as I do!
No Bake Oatmeal Cookies with Nutella
Why crank up the heat in your kitchen when no-bake cookie recipes like this exist– especially when the cookies are this good?! Using my stovetop generates way less ambient heat, and this recipe is so quick that the cookies are ready in a flash! Briefly boiling the cookie mixture is the key to getting these cookies nice and sticky so they hold together.
I load up these Nutella no bake cookies with sugar, butter, cocoa powder, oats, and vanilla to create the perfect sweet treat. They have such an amazing chewy texture that I can’t get enough of.
