  • Let the cookies set in the fridge for about 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

*You can use any type of cocoa powder you like for these cookies, as long as it is unsweetened. Use natural cocoa powder for a slightly more acidic taste, or use Dutch-process for a slightly smoother taste.
**The Nutella can be replaced with the same amount of peanut butter or almond butter.
Tips:
  • I use whole milk, but skim, almond or oat milk will also do the trick. Just use whatever milk best fits your dietary needs.
  • I topped my cookies with chopped hazelnuts and flake salt before placing them in the fridge to set, but that is completely optional!
Storage: Store Nutella no bake cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
