Air Fryer, Three Ingredient Nutella Cookies

Ok, picture this it’s about 3 pm, and you are looking for a snack for the kids. You go through your cabinets and you are looking for something to make. Then the thought hits you, Air Fryer,  Nutella Cookies! Yes!

I grew up with these, but I am sure that a lot of you don’t even know what I am talking about.  So, I will try to explain it..

First, What is Nutella?

Nutella is a chocolate and hazelnut spread.

According to Wikipedia, the main ingredients are sugar, palm oil, hazelnut, cocoa solids, and skim milk.

As most of you know, I grew up in an Italian household, so while children at the lunch tables (remember I am old) peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, I was having Nutella sandwiches.

Cooking with Nutella is awesome, it’s easy because it already has a base of a fat (palm oil), sugar, and chocolate.

Ingredients in Nutella Cookies–

• Nutella
• Flour (I used all-purpose) but Gluten Free flour does great here.
• Egg

How To Make Air Fryer Nutella Cookies–

1. Start by blending the Nutella, eggs, and flour in a large mixing bowl.
   
2. Mix well, scraping the sides as you mix.
   
3. I use an ice cream scoop and scoop the batter onto the baking tray *see my hints if you are using a basket.
   
4. Place the tray into the air fryer oven, set the temperature to 340 degrees F, for 4 minutes
   
5. Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Some Hints For Making Cookies in the Air Fryer—

1. If you have an air fryer basket, the best thing to do is purchase some parchment paper and line your basket with it. Otherwise, your dough will fall through the holes. Leading to inedible cookies.
2. Never preheat your air fryer, otherwise, the dough will simply runoff.
3. The best way to get great cookies out of the air fryer is to chill the dough.
4. The dough will harden as the cookie cools down. So, as soon as you see the dough turn golden brown it’s best to remove the cookies.
5. I never do a whole batch at once, since every air fryer is different, it is best to do a few cookies at one time, and then use your judgement to see do they need longer if so add them.
