Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix Nutella, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet Nutella mixture into the dry ingredient bowl and stir until a consistent cookie dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but hold together.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a uniform shape, as these cookies will not spread much during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
- Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure better mixing and a more consistent dough texture.
- For extra richness, consider adding a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the mixture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make the cookies tough instead of soft and chewy.
- If the dough seems too dry, add a little more almond milk; if too wet, sprinkle in a bit more flour.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely to develop their ideal texture and prevent crumbling.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk of your choice.
- Store in an airtight container with a piece of bread to help maintain moisture and softness.
