The Best, Three Ingredient Cookie ever!!!
I saw a recipe last week called "Nutella Cookies" and after I saw the ingredient list I just HAD to try them! ( any recipe that has Nutella in it couldn't be half bad either :mrgreen:). Yep...theres not much to them! After reading some comments online from others who've tried the basic recipe and then offered a couple of their tips, I actually adjusted the batch I just made as well, and they came out GREAT! Not too sweet, and a little gooey inside too!
The original recipe:
1 C Nutella
1C flour
1 egg
Mix all together, roll into balls then flatten slightly when placed on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 7-20 minutes.
Here is how I made them:
1 C Nutella
1C flour
1 egg
3/4 stick butter, melted
3/4 c sugar
Baked them for 10-11 minutes. At first they seem like they're never going to set up and will be a horrible floppy, mess. But I made 3 to test first, then found out they need a good 10 minutes if you want them to come off of the cookie sheet in one piece. But don't go over 11 minutes either!
Simply awesome and SO EASY!! Nutella isn't something I normally keep around but I happened to have a jar hubby brought home several months ago during oone of his late night, sweet-tooth grocery runs....lol! Since there was 99% of the jar left I just went ahead and used it up....
Enjoy! :razz:
Oh!! p.s.- You can also add cinnamon, or other spices, and maybe nuts if you'd like, I guess? I think they would be pretty if you dusted powdered sugar on 'em once they've cooled, too. (Next time I'm adding a good measure of cinnamon)
Here is another one I stumbled upon:
This one works well and can be used however your imagination takes you..the combination possibilities are endless!..I tried it Sunday and they turned out prett...y darned good:
I box cake mix (your choice)
1 large egg
1 8oz cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter, softened
Any "add-in" you might like, such as choc chips, nuts, white choc, etc...
Cream the wet ingredients, and slowly add in the cake mix. It will be stiff, but a sticky batter. Spoon onto cookie sheet and slightly flatten with your hand or bottom of a glass (they won't spread, so FYI-you really have to do this step!)
Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Voila! :mrgreen: I used a butter cake mix with white choc chips...they taste like Paula Deens's "Ooey-Gooey Butter Cake" recipe. Next I'm going to try the German Choc mix I've had stuck in my pantry with dark chips and nuts....the list is endless, and even though we all know scratch is best, this is perfect for a last minute cookie craving, or a way to use up cake mixes in a different way. You can really taste the cream cheese, too..oh!.... once you see them start to turn gold/very light brown-Take Them Out!
**Now I would like to take just a minute and bragg on myself...a little while ago I may have made my BEST APPLE PIE ever, with MY BEST, flakiest, crust ever!! It was almost too pretty to eat,,,husband came in and said, 'wow...that looks like the prettiest pie you've ever made! Good job, honey!....is it cooled off yet?'..(LOL) :mrgreen: I just wanted to tell you all about it. Nothing like a crust and filling that comes out so good!!
