Tips and Tricks for Making Nutella Cookies
- If the dough seems too dry, you can add a splash of milk to bring the dough together.
- You can make the cookies smaller or larger depending on your preferences. Keep in mind that you might need to adjust the baking time if doing this.
- Be careful not to overbake the cookies because their texture won’t be as enjoyable. It is okay if they seem soft when removing them from the oven. Just make sure that they turn from shiny to matte on top.
- Store the cookies at room temperature in an airtight container or bag. The cookies also freeze great, so you can put them in a gallon-sized freezer bag and save them for a rainy day when you want a treat.
