Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, baking soda and salt until evenly mixed.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and vanilla extract together, then stir in the chocolate-hazelnut spread until smooth.

  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a thick, even dough forms.

  5. Scoop the dough into 18 equal portions, about a tablespoon each, and roll them into balls.

  6. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches (5 cm) apart and flatten each one slightly with your fingers.

  7. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are firm and the centers look set.

  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
