Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, cocoa powder, and chopped nuts. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, warm the chocolate hazelnut spread for 15-20 seconds to make it more fluid and easier to mix.
- Add maple syrup and vanilla extract to the warmed hazelnut spread. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture holds together.
- Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, form the mixture into 12 evenly sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly, creating a traditional cookie shape.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow cookies to set and firm up.
- Once chilled, remove cookies from the refrigerator. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing and better cookie consistency.
- For extra texture, toast your chopped nuts lightly before adding them to the mixture.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more maple syrup; if too wet, incorporate more oats.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform-sized cookies that look professionally made.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder.
- Experiment with different nuts like almonds or pecans for varied taste profiles.
- Store cookies in a single layer to prevent sticking and maintain their shape.
- For a vegan version, ensure your chocolate hazelnut spread is plant-based.
