How to Serve and Store

Once the cookies are baked to perfection, they can be enjoyed warm right out of the oven, offering the ultimate gooey experience. However, they also taste amazing at room temperature. Pairing these cookies with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee creates a delightful contrast that enhances the Nutella flavors even more.

To store the cookies, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can stay fresh for up to a week, although they are so delicious that they may not last that long! For longer storage, consider freezing the dough or the baked cookies, making it easy to enjoy these treats whenever a craving strikes.

Ingredients

Gather all the necessary ingredients before you start baking.

Ingredients

1 cup Nutella
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup mini marshmallows

Make sure to measure the ingredients accurately for best results.

Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to achieve perfect cookies.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until fluffy. Then add the Nutella and the egg, mixing until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not over-mix.

Fold in Marshmallows

Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoons of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Cool and Enjoy

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container!

Let the cookies cool completely before storing.

Ingredient Tips

Using high-quality Nutella is essential for achieving the best flavor in these cookies. Look for varieties that have a rich chocolate and hazelnut taste without too many additives. For a healthier alternative, consider brands that offer nut spreads with less sugar and natural ingredients.

Opt for mini marshmallows specifically for this recipe, as they melt beautifully and evenly distribute throughout the cookie dough. If you can’t find mini marshmallows, you can cut regular marshmallows into smaller pieces to achieve a similar result.

Baking Tips for Perfect Cookies

When baking these cookies, always preheat your oven fully to ensure even baking. If your oven has hot spots, consider rotating the baking sheet halfway through the baking time. This helps achieve uniformly baked cookies that are golden and chewy.

Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake, as oven times may vary. Ideally, they should be removed from the oven when the edges are golden brown, keeping the centers slightly soft to maintain that desirable gooey texture.

Custom Variations to Try

Feeling adventurous? Experiment with other mix-ins such as crushed cookies, chocolate chips, or even flavored extracts like almond or coconut for a unique twist. You can also substitute some of the flour with cocoa powder for a double chocolate version that’s sure to delight chocolate lovers.

For an even more festive touch, consider adding crushed candy canes or seasonal spices like cinnamon during the holidays. This not only adds flavor but also enhances the visual appeal, making your cookies stand out during any celebration.
