Hello there A Beautiful Mess readers, I'm Emma, Elsie's sister and the gal behind Food Coma. At Elsie's wedding last week I had the opportunity to try Nutella for the first time. Now I'm obsessed.
So I've been trying to dream up different ways to use this magical new-to-me spread and I thought that in between two cookies might be the perfect place for Nutella.
Along with on top of toast. Like, every morning.
You can enjoy these cookies in the late afternoon along with some coffee or in the evening with some milk while watching the latest episode of Glee. (That's right-I'm a Gleek, and I'm not sorry!)
Nutella Sandwich Cookies, makes 10-12.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon (aluminum-free) baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and plenty of Nutella.
Cream together the butter and sugars, stir in egg and vanilla. Now mix in flour, baking powder and salt until just combined. The batter should be crumbly and you will probably need to use your (clean) hands to combine it a bit more to form a dough ball. Cover in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Now form into small round disks, about 2-3 inches in diameter and uniformly thick. You want your cookies to all sort of match each other in size because you will be placing one of top of another to form sandwich cookies. Bake at 350 F for 15-18 minutes, allow to cool completely on a cooling rack before adding filling. Once cool, spoon a couple of tablespoons of Nutella on one cookie and place another on top. Devour, and don't apologize.
xo. Emma

ah! I love Nutella. I’m making these!
(Also, in Europe, they have the cutest little travel-sized packages of Nutella in hotels. You almost don’t want to open them up and eat them… *almost*)
they look amazing!! i love nutella!

Yummmmmmmmmm i love nutella!!! This have to be tasted!
You would so love Belgium! We always start the day with French Bread and nutella and you should try it on pancakes!
Go to http://www.nutelladay.com/nutella-recipes/ to keep obsessed! 😉
NJAMMIE!!!
I’ve been eating nutella since i was little at my grandma’s house!
Definitely thee BEST on toast 😉
these look delicious right now..
and i will probably be buying nutella and making these tomorrow 🙂
These look delicious! I love nutella on toast, and on pancakes, and maybe just eaten straight out of the jar…
I’ve loved Nutella since I was a kiddo!! My favorite midnight snack!!! My boyfriend had not had it until recently, and he can’t live without it! Nutella is always in stock in our pantry!
I first tried nutella in front of the Eiffel Tower and it was definitely love at first bite. *wink* these cookies look soooo good, I am absolutely making them soon! :]
Yum. There are all sorts of magical nutella recipes on pinterest lately… make your own nutella, and then use it to make brilliant cookies (like these!) or fill doughnuts, or add to brownies… it’s addicting!
You think Nutella cookies are divine?! You need to try a Nutella hot chocolate!! The coffee shop I used to work at would make them for special customers only……they were AMAZING!!
Yum yum!

“At Elsie’s wedding last week I had the opportunity to try Nutella for the first time.”
YOU MEAN AMERICA HAS NO NUTELLA??!! Oh my.
Mmmmmmmmmm these look so good!
But Emma, how has it taken you this long to try the awesome that is Nutella??
x
In Lucca (Italy) I had a thin, crepe- style pancake with nutella in the centre. Lovely , except the girl had put so much nutella in it was sickly. Once I had removed about half a jar, it was divine. I have always loved nutella and on a bad day a teaspoon is just the most perfect sweet treat!! I also love a drizzle of warm nutella on vanilla icecream. Maybe I should get out more!!
Nutella is AMAZING with those Pepperidge Farms flat-bread rounds. I ate those every day when I was in Ireland.
Nutella is the glue that holds main-land Europe together 😀
Have you tried it with bananas? Best thing is to make a slit in the banana with the skin on and put a couple of teaspoons of nutella in the middle. Wrap the whole thing in foil and bake in the oven or place on the bbq.. best thing ever!
oh yum! I’m trying this recipe today! I love eating nutella with bananas- on toast!
Oh man! Anything with nutella is amazing!!
You should go to foodgawker.com and search nutella. There are SO many nutella recipes on there!! It’s amazing!!!
like it!
http://prisonerofashion.blogspot.com/
Umm delicious…what a great idea!
I’ve never tried nutella i must try it.
Now I know what I’ll be baking once I get off work!
Delish. I lovelovelove Nutella.
Where do you girls find all these cute straws?!
nutella is so yummy. i love it with ritz and also with peanut butter. mmm.
SOOOOOOOOOOO YUMMY!
love, polly
Nutella is from italy! Nutella rocks!
mmmmm…nutella cookies 🙂 we love nutella so much we even named one of our chickens after it. i’d love to try a toasted marshmallow nutella shake!
I just keep scrolling up and down between the 3 photos. Scrolling up.. scrolling down.. Mmmm.
yummy! I might as well try these.
Ahahah! So happy you’re in love with it! As an italian I can say that we enjoy it almost in everything such as bread, cookies or croissants…even if I usually taste it on my fingers 😉
Try this: Nutella tart…I bet you’ll adore it!
xo
nutella is so good! lol i wanna make these!
Last week I had the same revelation. I made some shortbread cookies with nutella in the middle. Brilliant. Yum!
Nutella has been feeding generations here in Greece (well before that we had Merenda which is local and just as good but Nutella grew sooooo big). It’s our favorite topping for crepes (thin pancakes) either with crushed almond/biscuit (p’tit beurre kind) or banana bits… The latest one we call it Chocobanana. Either or Nutella is divine!
They look lovely Emma, and the photos are beautiful too, great styling 🙂
YUM! I can’t believe you just tried Nutella. You have years of catching up to do!
This looks too cute to it!! I have a feeling this post is going to get a lot of Pinning attention!
Hmm I love nutella
Nutella is the best! Thanks for the fabulous recipe, can’t wait to try it.
would love to make these…they look so yummy!!! Is there a Vegan alternative to the ingredients?? Love Nutella…my husband is Italian so we’ve been eating it for years…so good!!
These look so good! I have sworn off Nutella forever after having eaten it for 2 months straight on a backpacker’s budget, but perhaps I will break that to make these. Random fact of the day: Nutella is to Europeans what peanut butter is to North Americans. It’s almost impossible to find peanut butter overseas!
these look Amazing!!!
http://kimchicsisters.blogspot.com
Looks so yummy. I’m allergic to peanut butter and have heard that Nutella is a good alternative, but I’ve never tried it. I think I need to bite the bullet and buy some. And cookies.
they look adorable and delicious!
theArtofbeingFashionable
Aaaaand I happen to have a jar of Nutella handy. Well, I usually have a jar of Nutella handy. But anyway. . . 🙂
Nutella, on vanilla cookies, plus a glass of pineapple juice. The tang and the chocolate go together so well!
Yummy! Nutella + cookies sounds amazing. I am pretty much obsessed with Nutella!
these are so dang cute! i’ve been craving a delicious cookie all day…
oh yum, Nutella! My must have item when I travel somewhere I know won’t have them. I can usually eat this stuff straight out of the jar (which is bad, I know!). The cookies look delicious though. Will give them a try soon!
Can’t believe you’ve never experienced Nutella before, here in France it’s included as one of the main food groups 😉 These look scrummy!! XX
It s never to late to try new things. At first I was surprised that Americans don’t live on Nutella 😉 but I guess we Europeans don’t know all your products either.
If you love Nutella you will absolutely love Hanuta. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanuta
and Duplo bar http://www.chocolatemission.net/2010/03/march-28th-ferrero-duplo.html and Kinder Shoko Bons.
i’m from europe. i eat nutella, every day, all day.
nutella is a staple in my house!
my favorite things with nutella are: pretzel sticks dipped in nutella, toasted banana and nutella and nutella stirred into warm milk on a cold day.
I baked these today, Emma, and they turned out DIVINE. Nutella is common here in Australia but I’ve never thought to use it as a filling for cookies! Thanks for the recipe!
hey!
try nutella with bananas and coconut rasps! it’s delicious!
greetings from germany!
they look amazing!!
adorable and delicious!
I’m trying this recipe today! I love eating nutella with bananas- on toast!

It’s really funny to read that someone tried Nutella the first time, when we here grow up with this and are DYING to try some of your yummi food you have in the states. Emma I’d love to see a recipe for bubble tea because this is something we can’t get over here and whenever Elsie mentions bubble tea, I really really wanna try some…
Sandy
Nutella and Banana Bread anytime! Also great on crepes, and over fruit. So versatile! Thanks for the new recipe!
I was introduced to Nutella by a roommate in college who came from Germany. She said we it was to die for & she was right! We loved to eat it with triscuit crackers. It was the perfect blend of salty & sweet.
That looks very awesome! Goin to make these this weekend!! xoxo
Nutella is one of the best things ever! I love it on oatcakes, but Pizza Express (a chain here in the UK) now does its dipping Dough Balls for dessert with a dish of Nutella. Soooooo gooooooood!
Mmmm I just made these 🙂 and unfortunately they are as addictive as they look!
Nutella is so so good in a crepe with some strawberries. It will have you at hello.
OH my goodness these look so delicious! I love nutella!
One thing: you’re a GENIUS!!!!
Plus yay for being a Gleek… Did u watch the last episode?!
Luv ur blog btw!
yum! love that these look like tiny hamburgers- so cute!
Sounds fabulous! Can’t wait to try!!!!!
Nutella is THE best thing ever made! I make a “special dessert” which is basically a pastry with Nutella in the middle – amazing! I am definitely going to make these cookies. I cannot wait! I will let you know how they turn out. 🙂
http://www.shoesandjules.com
they are good breakfist
omg, those look so yummy. haha, I used to eat nutella too everyday, (but it’s kind of not very healthy :p )
You should go to Europe – it’s true, Nutella’s the deal here.
And YAY for GLEE.
Try Nutella + Peanut Butter on waffles.(its like Reeses) Now I will just have to try these delectable cookies.
nutella and cream cheese grilled sandwiches. so. good.
Nutella cookies! That just sounds so amazing. I love all things Nutella. Thanks so much for this recipe.
That and a cold glass of milk surely is a perfect combination for a snack that is not only easy to make but also fantastic to share with friends! Another thing, it’s a fine pick to make the cookie with simple flavors, so you could appreciate the flavor of both cookie and the spread itself.
yummm so trying this!
i think i just found my new favourite blog. wowwwwww
Mascarpone( it’s a cheese) and nutella. put in a creap. This is the italian style
Oh my! I’m making these today!!! Thank you!
Try with mascarpone…italian style ;-p
yumm nutella 🙂
ever try Justin’s hazelnut butter? I do believe it’s a bit healthier, and it’s just as yummy.
try nutella with potato chips or nutella and pik-nik!
Nutella is one of my favourite things… I know I won’t get a chance to make these for at least another 5 days (and I want them now!). I wonder if sandwiching the Nutella between 2 Amaretti biscuits would work?
Nutella is the most delicious and favorite breakfast! ahah
Yum. If I hadn’t just scarfed down the whole jar of $18 chocolate covered peanuts I got from the girlscouts, I’d make these right. stinkin. now.
Nutella = one of my favorite things. Period! :0)
read this recipe a month ago. might hafta buy 2 jars of nutella now to curb the craving before i make the cookies :o) looks DELICIOUS!!!!
I’m aghast that you’d never had nutella. It gives energy to think and do. My eating method of choice is a family sized jar and a spatula, but I may have to give these cookies a try as well..
http://www.theblossomshed.blogspot.com
Hey, I made this recipe and GOSH!!!!!!!!!! People were fighting to get the last “sandwich”…My friends and family loved it so much! Well, the recipe is pretty simple (which made me able to make it) and the results are AWESOME…I love Nutella but those cookies made Nutella even more delicious!!!!!!…Thanx a lot Emma…;)
You may just have become one of the favorite people in my house… with this recipe. 🙂
Love Nutella!! Will have to try this, thanks for sharing!
I made these yesterday for my 25 days of cookies challenge. They were wonderful! Thanks for the recipe!
Look delicious! gotta try these!
Oh, no! I should NOT have found this xD I can do nothing but head to the nearest shop and do some ingredient-shopping 😛 Unfortunately Nutella is soo expensive in Finland, so i will go for a cheaper option instead 😉 But i suppose, i will re-do this recipe after returning back to UK, where i study. 🙂 Argh. This may have been a mistake…
Merry x-mas!
I have a deep nutella love! So will defo be making these 😉
Nutella with Bananas! or a spoon, either way is good.
I had ago at these, although mine look a little different
http://littlemadamm.blogspot.com/2012/01/homemade-cookies.html
Thanks for the great recipe

i love nutella & jam on my French Toast or on pancakes, so messy but super yummy, also if you really want to go decadent try nutella with fancy peanut butter like this white chocolate one from Peanut Butter & Co: http://ilovepeanutbutter.com/index.php/peanut-butter-1/whitechocolatewonderful.html
you will be so stuffed but happy:p
In Italy we call those beauties ‘Baci di Dama’ translated in English it is Lady Kisses. Nutella is also italian, seeing people around the world liking it makes me so proud.
I made nutella muffins this past weekend. So yummy!

We just made these. They are delicious! We shaped them into small hearts, frosted with Nutella and added red sprinkles. Perfect little valentines cookies! Thanks for sharing. We will be using this recipe often!
I FINALLY made these and can I just say mine did not look half as good as yours! But they are very tasty!
Nutella is my secret happy place at work. I keep a hidden spoon and a jar of this in my bottom drawer at work. I put it on my cutie’s slices and/apples. If I want carbs I mix it with my Honey Pretzels…. soooooo delish.
🙂
Yummmmm! Can’t wait to try out this recipe. I adore Nutella.
I’m definitely doing this recipe today! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂

Every time you eat nutella, an orangutan dies. Thanks for using palm oil, nutella!
love nutela, the best chocolate spread ever.
i made this recipe. I think it is missing something because they turned out rock hard both times i did it.
i love nutella but i must try this, looks Yumm 😉
Oh, my. It is time for breakfast, but I would much rather have these cookies right now.
I can’t believe you’ve never tried it! These cookies look good. (And yes, to the commenters, America has Nutella.)
I made these last night and it went so well , thankyou!! All the boys in the office today are enjoying them, as am I. No doubt my man will love them this evening too. So cute and yummy.
I’m not a big fan of Nutella but my husband lives off this stuff! I’m going to try making these for him as a little surprise! Thanks so much posting! Love your pictures 🙂
Yeeey! Yesterday I tried them! really good 🙂 but I made them a bit bigger than it should be >_<
Delicious Nutella… hmmm…. Like it!
Daniel
With Nutella, I don’t need bread, biscuits, milk or bananas. Only a spoon .
In Belgium everyone eats Nutella, I always find it funny when I read about Americans trying it for the first time. When my mom was living in Texas it was Nutella she missed Nutella the most. ♥-Axelle

this is proper yummy 😀 xxx
I can’t believe you just tried NUTELLA!!! Lucky you, its been the cause for my overweight through out my life and my obsession with it!! LOL! This looks delicious!!! I wish you could make me some and send them to spain!!! 🙂 Im definitely gonna try the receipt but I won’t tell anyone about it so that they don’t get their hopes up… (I’m a terrible cook 🙁 ) hehe… Thank you so much for this post, the pictures look incredible as well!! PS: LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!
kind regards, Francesca, Drifting Nomad: http://franomad.blogspot.com
I love Nutella. Where has it been all my life. Giada DeLaurentis introduced me to it; not personally but via Food Network. So yummy spread on warm toast…
There is protein in there right?
Those look amazing. When I was working in France, me and the other girls all got a giant tub each, and used to sit around dipping oreos in…when we ran out of oreos ‘nutella fingers’ quickly substituted 😀

I tried the recipe and my cookies came out so hard. What did i do wrong?

Those look so yummy- the cookie recipe alone sounds like delish. I’ve always loved the taste of the brown sugar batter of chocolate chip cookies and this sounds like such an interesting take on it.

Where I live they don’t sell nutella in stores, so I only get it when it’s holliday 🙁
It looks delicious, I really wanna try them!

Hello! I’m a new reader of yours and i stumbled upon this post and decided to give this recipe a try. The finished product was great and my family and friends loved it! I wish I could show you a photo of the cookies I baked. 🙂 Please keep posting more in the DIY section! 😀
I made these cookies the other night and while I left them to cool, my brother’s friends came in and ate a few without the Nutella. They said that they were the best cookies they’ve ever had (: It was my first time baking too.
like hamburgers,i am hungry now.
hmmm i wonder what would happen if you added a bit of peanut butter?
Beautiful picture and recipe! Check out s’mores in the city on my blog – nutella, biscoff cookies and marshmallow. I’m pretty sure anything With nutella is good!
Great site!

I live in ItalY and I’m Pure Italian…and I was born with Nutella in my DNA…any Italian family has a Nutella jar at home..and the best is the simpliest way: fresh bread and (lot of) Nutella! Unfortunately i have to deal with diet now that i’m grown up..i’m 48 and still would like to have breakfast with it every morning! ;D

I live in Italy and I’m eating Nutella… from time immemorial!!!!!!
Enjoy it!!!
Don’t worry, there is Nutella in the USA – even at Costco! My daughter makes a “Reese’s Sandwich” as an occasional treat – peanut butter and Nutella.
UHMMM, YUM!!!!!!!!!! This is inspired. The perfect snack for my chocolately prego cravings!!! So glad I stumbled upon this today.
Made these yesterday and they were absolutely amazing! so much fun to make! However, I’m not a huge fan of nutella (gasp) so I opted for marshmallow fluff instead. Delicious! Great recipe! Thanks! 🙂
I am addicted to Nutella ever since i tried it 2 years ago. I really want to make these!!!!
Oh my. I’m making these!
’nuff sed.
This Very delicious cookie. I have made it once!
