Day 25: Easy Nutella Cookies

I saw this pin on Pinterest a few weeks back, and decided this would be a great quick cookie to try.

However, this pin seriously has zero instructions! I still decided I wanted to try these, and hash out a process for others to try.

The Ingredients

• 1 cup Nutella
• 1 cup whole wheat white flour
• 1 large egg
• Splash of milk (~1 tbsp)

The Process

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Mix the Nutella, flour, and egg together. I started by using a fork, then switched to using my hands to try to incorporate everything together.
At this point, I noticed the dough was wayyyy dry and decided to add a splash of milk, though it's not in the original picture. Add however much milk as needed, using only small doses at a time.

Grease a baking sheet. I wasn't sure how far these cookies needed to be away from, or how much they'd spread. I pressed a heaping tablespoon
into a thick cylinder, and placed them quite far away. However, the cookies didn't spread very much.

Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes (not the same amount as the original pin). Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

The Final Product

Some Notes

These cookies are extremely dry, and really not very flavorful. 

If I Could Do It Again....

I'd definitely add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

I'd press the cookies down flatter.

I think I'd try reducing the amount of flour, and possibly adding more milk. Not really sure.

The Final Verdict

Despite what the pin claims, these cookies are NOT the best ever. In fact, they're pretty horrible. Super dry, and no flavor. So bad texture and bad taste. On top of that, flour and Nutella are pretty expensive calorie wise. Yuck yuck yuck.

I really wanted these to work. I wanted them to work so badly. It'd be so great to be able to whip these out in just a few minutes.

But no. They were horrible.

Just don't do it. Just don't.
