These easy Nutella No Bake Cookies are a fun and nostalgic treat to make in no time at all. Perfect after school or midnight snack.
It has been way too long since I have enjoyed a no bake cookie around here. In fact, I really can't remember the last time I had one. I actually think these no bake cookies that I shared 5 years ago was the last time I made and ate them.
5 years ago! That's crazy. One because when I looked back, I realized how tiny my kids were that day, and two because no bake cookies are awesome. How could I have gone so long without have them in my life?!?!?!!
Actually, one reason I don't make them more often is because of all the coconut in them. I end up eating the entire batch of cookies because my kids say they don't like coconut. Yes, the entire batch!!! Diet fail going on right here! I'm going to need another 24 Day Challenge after all these cookies!
I'm wondering if I toast the coconut and give it a crunchy texture if that would change the crazy kids minds? That might just have to happen!!
All I know is that after one of these cookies I knew I had to make more batches because they were so dang good! Were good because I devoured them in like 9.456 seconds!
The original cookies have peanut butter in them, but this time I pulled out the Nutella and substituted that instead. These coconut nutella cookies were my inspiration behind the change. (Feel free to use peanut butter or any other chocolate spread that is sold in the pb aisle at the store, if you don't like Nutella. Although, I may have just gasped at that!)
I'm sorry peanut butter, but I may never use you again in this recipe. The Nutella and coconut combination was absolutely divine together. They were actually "you will eat more cookies than you care to admit" good!
Don't just take my word though! Get in the kitchen and make your own batch of Nutella no bake cookies. You can thank me later. Or your jeans can send me hate mail. It's ok. My jeans are currently unhappy too.

Hi, just want to check if reducing the sugar will affect the setting /hardening of the cookie. Thanks
Jocelyn
I have honestly never made them with less sugar, so I'm not quite sure. I feel like it would affect how they set up as they cool. Keep me posted if you try it though.
Anna
Okay, thank you.
I made them by using 1 1/2 cups sugar instead of 2 and they were a bit soft but was delicious.
Ama Yah
No I reduced it to 1 1/2 cup, was good and I want to try and reduce it to 1 cup next time.
Randee
I felt like I could hardly taste Nutella, they were definitely delicious, but I couldn't tell they had Nutella. Do you think I could add more? Or would they not set up properly?
Jocelyn
I have not made this recipe with more Nutella, so I'm not sure on how well they would set up. You could try adding a little more and see what happens. Definitely keep me posted if you add more!
Robin
So I tried making these and at the point where I add the nutella it never got creamy, but rather stayed soupy and liquidy. Ive stirred it for as long as I could then tried making a second batch only to meet the same fate.
Jocelyn
Once it came to a boil, did you boil the sugar/milk mixture for a full minute? Once you add the Nutella it will just melt and be liquidy (creamy) like warm hot fudge. It thickens once the oats and coconut are stirred in.
Gloria
These were so good!! Thank you!
Marjorie
Making these tomorrow- can you freeze these do you think?
Jocelyn
I think they will freeze fine. I'm actually not sure because we always eat them way too fast. LOL!
Rachel
Are we supposed to put it in the refrigerator?
Jocelyn
No, I just let them set up on the counter, then store them in a container on the counter. I hope you enjoy them.
Jeanine
How long does it take for the cookies to set, usually?
Jocelyn
They should set up pretty quickly.
Jacqueline
Made these today, turned out beautiful, thanks for the recipe.
