Well, that’s a whole new level of yum! Today, I’m sharing my favourite nutella biscuits recipe that’s super easy to whip up and guaranteed to bring smiles all around.

Let’s dive in and get those aprons on!
Why You’ll Love This Nutella Biscuits Recipe at Home
First off, these biscuits are ridiculously simple. No fancy ingredients or complicated steps. Just a handful of basics and a jar of Nutella (or your favourite chocolate-hazelnut spread). Plus, they bake up soft and buttery with a gooey Nutella centre that’s just chef’s kiss perfect.
What’s more, making these at home means you can customise them. Want to add a sprinkle of sea salt on top? Go for it! Fancy a dash of cinnamon in the dough? Why not! The recipe is flexible and forgiving, which makes it perfect for bakers of all ages and skill levels.
And here’s a little secret: these biscuits freeze beautifully. Bake a batch, stash them in the freezer, and you’ll have a quick, delicious treat ready whenever the craving hits.
Ingredients and Tools You’ll Need
Before we get mixing, let’s make sure you’ve got everything ready. Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:
Ingredients:
150g plain flour
100g margarine
50g icing sugar
1tbsp milk (if too dry)
8-12tsp Nutella
Tools:
Mixing bowl
Spoon
Baking tray
Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
Teaspoon or small cookie scoop
Cooling rack
Having everything prepped makes the whole process smoother and more fun. Plus, it’s a great way to get the kids involved – they can help measure, mix, and of course, taste test!
Step-by-Step Guide to Making Your Nutella Biscuits at Home
Alright, here’s where the magic happens. Follow these steps, and you’ll have a batch of warm, Nutella-filled biscuits in no time.
1. Preheat and Prep
Start by preheating your oven to Gas 4, 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F. Line your baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat to stop the biscuits from sticking.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar
In your mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and caster sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer. If you’re doing it by hand, just keep at it – your arm will get a good workout!
3. Mix the Dry Ingredients
Add the flour slowly until it is all mixed in. If you add it too quickly without it mixing in, you will just have crumbs, so use your muscles and work the flour in. Youll endup with a soft dough. If you need to add a drop of milk because it is too dry, then mix in.
5. Shape the Biscuits
Here’s the fun part! Take a small spoonful of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Pop a small dollop of Nutella in the centre, then fold the dough around it, sealing the edges so the Nutella is completely enclosed. Roll it gently into a ball and place it on your baking tray. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
6. Bake and Cool
Bake your biscuits for 12-18 minutes, or until they’re just turning golden around the edges. Let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
And voilà! You’ve got yourself a batch of irresistible Nutella biscuits.
Tips and Tricks for Perfect Nutella Biscuits Every Time
I’ve baked these biscuits more times than I can count, and here are some handy tips to make sure yours come out perfect:
Keep the Nutella chilled: If your Nutella is too runny, pop it in the fridge for a bit before filling the biscuits. This helps it stay put inside the dough.
Don’t overfill: A teaspoon of Nutella per biscuit is plenty. Too much and it might ooze out during baking.
Chill the dough if it’s too sticky: If your dough feels too soft to handle, wrap it in cling film and chill for 20-30 minutes. It’ll be easier to shape.
Use parchment paper: This prevents sticking and makes clean-up a breeze.
Experiment with flavours: Add a pinch of cinnamon or orange zest to the dough for a twist.
Why Baking Together is the Best Fun
One of the best things about this recipe is how it brings people together. Whether you’re baking with little ones, friends, or family, it’s a chance to chat, laugh, and create memories. Plus, the reward at the end is pretty sweet!
If you’re part of a group or school, these biscuits make a fantastic activity. They’re simple enough for kids to get involved, and everyone loves a treat they helped make. And if you’re looking for a fun party idea, why not host a baking session? Everyone can take home their own batch of biscuits – a perfect party favour!
