Practical notes

Here are some common questions for the Nutella recipe for no bake cookies.

Can we use rolled oats for this cookie recipe?

So we tend to use quick oats when we make no bakes. But, rolled oats can be used. You will get a chewier texture, and if you are not careful measuring the cookies can become drier in texture.

What does a rolling boil mean?

A rolling boil is when you allow your mixture to come to a full boil. That even when you stir the mixture, you will have constant bubbles popping up in the mixture.

Why did our cookies set up so hard?

Adding too much oats to the cookie mixture can make your cookies hard and crumbly in texture. It is important to measure properly.
