These No Bake Nutella Cookies are quick, easy and perfect for the holiday season, and beyond! Whip up a batch or two today.
Nothing beats a great no bake cookie for the holidays. These No Bake Nutella Cookies are going to be the hit of your cookie exchange this year.
These cookies were originally made for The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap 2011.
I have to admit I got mine sent out a day late. Regulars know I’ve been sick. Well, any time you bake for others you want to make sure you are completely well.
So, I waited an extra day to bake and send to make sure I was fully back in good form. There was no way I was sending off a bundle of cookie germs.
That meant being a bit late so hopefully my 3 got them by now. Crossing fingers my ladies received them and are munching them happily as I type.
I am waiting on one more batch to arrive. Not only did I get some wonderful cookies but I got some sweet personal notes with them.
K and K Test Kitchen sent me Haystack Cookies. I got a wonderfully sweet note from Kelsey. Let me tell you Kelsey, the guys went nuts for your cookies. Hubs cannot stop eating them. The pink paper was so adorable too.
Miss Delish also got assigned moi, so Jill sent me the most amazing whoopie pies. Her Whoopie Pies rocked my world.
Thank you Jill aka Miss Delish, those cookies were incredible. Thank you K & K Test Kitchen and a special thanks to Kelsey for the wonderful note.

No Bake Nutella Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 5 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1/4 cup Nutella
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut
Instructions
- In a saucepan combine your sugar, cocoa and milk. Cook over medium-low heat stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Now bring to a low boil, (you don’t want to get it too hot) and add your shortening and Nutella. Mix until it melts.
- Add your oats and mix well.
- Now remove from heat and add your vanilla salt, coconut extract and your coconut flakes. Stir well.
- Now with a spoon or ice cream scoop lay them out on parchment lined cookie sheets.
- Now leave them to set up. I always eat about 5 while they’re hot, I’m not gonna lie.
- Serve or store for later.

Kim you are just as sweet as can be! I'm so glad that you got the cookies and happy to hear that you all enjoyed them! Thank you for including the link to K&K Test Kitchen too! And of course these Nutella Cookies have me wishing that you were one of the bloggers sending me cookies! Yum!!
Tina says
Checkerboard cookies I have yet to master-the lining up does not come easy for me!
I am surprised you think that your recipients did not gobble up your cookies already. Ha-they probably have been awaiting your post with the recipe. Simply delicious Kim!
Ryan says
Glad you are feeling better! I know it really really stinks to be sick during the holidays when things are so busy! These cookies rock and I can't imagine how delicious they are with all of that yummy Nutella!! Beautiful pictures too. 🙂
Buttercream Blondie says
Mmmm nutella! They look so good! That "oh this ones too small, and this one doesn't look right" sounds a bit familiar… I'm a bit OCD as well, so I totally get it 🙂
Kiri W. says
Wow, these look amazing!! 🙂 Nutella is food of the Gods, I swear.
This swap was awesome, even if my cookies were stolen. Definitely signing up again!
Baker Street says
Anything with 3/4 cup of nutella must be magical..
Kim Bee says
@Baker Street- Aw shnikeys you just alerted me to that. I used half a jar for a triple batch and forgot to adjust it down. Rofl! Off to edit, thank you for that. It should be 1/4 cup per batch. I made 3 but just did a triple to save time. Crikey that would be one nutella-y blob with that much. Hopefully no one made them yet.
Cathy W says
All those cookies look fabulous! Why didn't I think of putting Nutella in my no-bake cookies? Love it! 🙂
anne says
Did you send mine already ? hahaha Love that yummy nutella cookies !
Emily says
Wasn't that so much fun. I love looking at what every one made and received! Your nutella cookies look to die for…and I would for one taste.
Chic & Gorgeous Treats says
Hi Kim Bee! How're you? I wish I could deliver my cookies to all of you. Seriously.. But due to all the food regulations, I can't. That is sad. It's really nice to know that all of you foodie bloggers are doing the cookie exchange. It must be really fun. I really enjoy your posts and thanks for buzzing me over at my blog too. Here's a toast to a new found foodie friend and have wonderful Christmas and New Year ahead. Till then, hugggsss.. Jo
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. says
I am loving the festive treats you have been sharing today! You can't go wrong with Nutella!
Anna @ hiddenponies says
Haha, I am always happy for the same reason when my precarious cookie pile topples…cookies for me!!! Your nutella cookies look delicious, and I'm heading over to check out that whoopie pie recipe too – wow!
Meg @ Sweet Twist says
These were great. My husband stole 3 on the first day!
Rachel @ My Naturally Frugal Family says
I wish I could make checkerboard cookies. It takes just a little more concentration and patience than I have presently.
However nutella so belongs in cookies. Thanks so much for sharing them, I only wish I had been one of the 3 lucky recepients.
Kim Bee says
@Kels- You are so welcome. I wanted to make sure I got pics of the cookies before the family gobbled them right up.
@Tina- Thanks. I am so ocd that the checkerboards are just too stressful for me. Lol!
@Ryan- Thanks so much. Being sick is no fun. But yummy cookies make everything better.
@Buttercream Blondie- Glad I am not the only one with serious ocd. I swear I try to knock things over on purpose now. It's sad.
@Kiri- Wait, what? Someone stole your cookies? I still haven't gotten my third batch. Hoping to get them today so I can edit them in here.
@Baker Street- See previous comment to you and thank you for snapping me out of it to realize I had wrote the wrong amount written down.
@Cathy- Just occurred to me recently too. Lol!
@anne- Lol, I may have eaten yours.
@Emily- Thanks so much. This was a hoot and I really hope they do it again next year.
@Jo- So glad you popped by. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Years as well.
@Stephanie- Thanks so much!Loving Nutella, recent discover. I am slow on the uptake. Lol!
@Anna- I was so lucky to get the people I got. Their cookies rocked. And I just said I wanted to make red velvet whoopie pies so I was so stunned when they arrived.
@Meg- I am so glad you liked them. My hubs was the same way. I was trying to get pics before they were all gone. Lol!
@Rachel- Aw, thanks. Maybe next year I'll get your name. Man those checkerboard cookies almost did me in. I swear I thought I was going to be in crying heap on the floor over them. Tricky little buggers.
Jen at The Three Little Piglets says
So glad you're feeling better! And just in time to enjoy those yummy treats! We're HUGE Nutella fans in our house – and we especially love it in Nutella pancakes!
livingthesweetlifeblog says
My word, these are phenomenal cookies!! I just received my package in the mail. SO chocolaty – SO melt.in.your.mouth. I'm so happy you posted the recipe, these are probably going to become part of our family's annual cookie bake 🙂 thanks so much for the wonderful treat!!
TheChocolatePriestess says
I had fun doing this, too, though I seem to be the only bars from what I've seen so far.
Kim Bee says
@Jen- Perfect timing for sure. Oh Nutella pancakes sound divine.
@Livingthesweetlifeblog- Yeah, I am so happy you got them. I got them out late so I was so terrified it would take forever. I am so happy you like them. That makes me smile. You are so welcome. It's so nice to meet new people through this swap.
@The Chocolate Priestess- I got whoopie pies so I think there are a few of you that thought outside the box. But I have seen mostly cookies.
Terri's Little Haven says
Oh my gosh, these look so delicious. I need cookies now.
MIchelle Lacayo says
These look great. I make a version of the nutella cookie but I've never used coconut in it before. Sounds like a great addition! Thanks for sharing.
Cassie/Bake Your Day says
These sound perfect Kim! I love the addition of nutella!
Rosann says
What a fun way to share some Christmas cookie love! As usual, all of these look delish!! 🙂
Kim Bee says
@Michelle- Thanks so much. Coconut is super yum in these types of cookies.
@Cassie- Aw, thanks my dear. New to Nutella and loving it.
@Rosann- Thanks. It was a ton of fun.
The Bold Baker says
I finally received these cookies! To be honest, im not crazy about nutella and coconut, but together they make an amazing pair! I absolutely love these cookies. Thank you =)
Simone says
First time visitor here through Lisa’s blog… Can I just point out maybe first that when you click on your name after you commented on something it goes to a cravingsofalunatic.wordpress.com site. Might be an old one you used before, but it’s a dead end obviously. Thought I let you know that that link doesn’t work. I hate it when that happens.. 😉 Now those cookies look quite amazing!
