Quick Recipe Recap (Just 3 Ingredients!)

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need to make these keto Nutella cookies:

• Homemade keto Nutella or your favorite chocolate hazelnut spread
• Almond flour
• A single large egg

Mix everything in a bowl, scoop the cookie dough onto a prepared baking sheet, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C / 356°F until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack and enjoy!

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a prepared baking sheet or baking tray with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mix the Keto Nutella, almond flour, and egg using a hand mixer or stand mixer or even food processor until you get smooth, sticky cookie dough.
• Optional: Stir in your favorite keto chocolate chips and sweetener if you want a sweeter or chunkier bite.
• Use a small cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop or tablespoon to shape the cookie batter into 6 cookies and place on the lined baking sheet.
• Flatten the top of the cookies gently with your fingers or a spoon.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes until the edges are golden brown and just set and the centers are soft.
• Let them cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack (wire rack).

Expert Tips

• For best results, use room temperature Nutella so it blends easily.
• These are soft and chewy straight from the oven, don’t overbake.
• A pinch of sea salt on top takes the chocolate flavor to the next level.
• Add a sprinkle of cocoa powder to deepen the chocolatey vibe.
• Want that “TikTok cookie look”? Press 2–3 chocolate chips into the tops before baking.

Ingredient Swaps

• You can use ChocZero chocolate hazelnut spread if you don’t have homemade Nutella.
• Swap almond flour for sunflower seed flour for a nut-free version (same ratio).
• Want a firmer bite? Try peanut butter instead of Nutella for a different flavor.

Storage Tips

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Chill in the fridge for a denser cookie feel.
• Freeze in a zip bag with parchment paper or plastic wrap between layers. Just defrost for 5–10 minutes before enjoying.
