Best No-Bake Cookies Made with Nutella
If you are a Nutella lover, then these Nutella and oatmeal no-bake cookies may just become your new obsession. They have the perfect balance of sweet, nutty, buttery and salty and can be whipped together in under 30 minutes. You really can’t go wrong with this childhood favorite.
Should I Make No-Bake Cookies with Old-Fashioned Oats or Quick Oats?
We recommend sticking to old-fashioned rolled oats for this no-bake oatmeal cookies recipe. The main difference between old-fashioned rolled oats and quick oats is how thinly they have been rolled, which affects the texture and how much liquid they can absorb.
If you only have quick oats in your pantry, don't despair - just add about ½ cup more for this recipe.
Why Do My No-Bake Cookies Turn Out Gooey?
Not boiling the milk and sugar long enough will cause your cookies to have a gooier consistency. If that’s your thing, then great!
However, if you don’t want them to be so gooey, get out your timer. We recommend boiling the butter, milk and sugar mixture for about 1 minute so that the sugar has a chance to reach “soft ball stage,” which is about 235 degrees F. At this temperature, the sugar becomes thicker and will harden slightly once cooled, helping to keep your no-bake cookies perfectly chewy.
If you have a candy thermometer, feel free to use it, but it’s not crucial for this recipe.
Ingredients in Nutella No-Bake Cookies
- Butter - we use unsalted.
- Milk - any percentage you have on hand will work.
- Sugar - once boiled, the sugar is what really holds these no-bake cookies together.
- Nutella - any type of hazelnut spread will do, or substitute peanut butter if you like
- Mini Marshmallows - mini marshmallows are easiest to melt, but you can substitute 8 regular-sized marshmallows for 1 cup of mini marshmallows in this recipe.
- Vanilla Extract - pure or imitation will work just fine.
- Salt
- Oats - we recommend old-fashioned rolled oats, but if you only have quick oats just add ½ cup more for this recipe.
How to Make Nutella No-Bake Cookies
- Grease (or line with waxed paper) a large baking sheet, and set aside.
- In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add the butter, milk and sugar. Bring to a boil, and boil for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. If you want, use a candy thermometer to make sure it reaches 235 degrees F.
- Turn off heat, and add the Nutella and marshmallows to the pan. Stir until completely melted. (If necessary, you can turn the heat back on low to be sure everything is melted.)
- Take the mixture off the heat and add the salt and the rolled oats. Stir until combined.
- Drop by the spoonful onto your greased cookie sheet, and let them cool at room temp. Enjoy!
