How To Make Air Fryer 3-Ingredient Nutella Cookies

Mixing Nutella, eggs, and flour in a large bowl to make cookie dough.

Step One: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Nutella, eggs, and flour until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to fully incorporate all ingredients.

Easy Air Fryer Nutella Cookies Recipe Tips

Use a sturdy mixing bowl: Nutella can be thick, so a large bowl makes mixing easier.
Scrape the sides: Make sure all flour and Nutella are fully incorporated for even texture.
Portion evenly: Use a small ice cream scoop or spoon so cookies bake uniformly.
Don’t overbake: Cookies are soft when removed; they firm up as they cool.
Cool slightly before serving: Makes cookies easier to lift and prevents sticking.
Optional mix-ins: Add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor.

Storing, Freezing and Reheating Instructions

Storing: Keep cooled Nutella cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. This helps them stay soft, chewy, and fresh.
Freezing: Place cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying for best texture.
Reheating: Warm cookies in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or in the air fryer at 300°F for 2–3 minutes. This restores their soft, gooey, just-baked texture.

Air Fryer Nutella Cookies Recipe Faqs

Can I make these cookies without an air fryer? Yes! Bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 6-8 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are soft.

Can I add mix-ins? Absolutely! Chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a pinch of sea salt on top work great without changing the texture.

Why are my cookies spreading too much? Make sure the dough is thick enough; chilling for 10-15 minutes can help control spreading in the air fryer.

Can I make them dairy-free? Yes! Use a dairy-free Nutella alternative if you need a completely dairy-free treat.

How do I know when they’re done? The cookies should look set at the edges but still soft in the center; they’ll firm up as they cool.

Can I freeze these cookies? Yes! Freeze baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 months, then thaw at room temperature before serving.

Can I double the recipe? Yes, but bake in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer, which can affect even cooking.
