I have never met a Nutella recipe I didn’t like. These Chocolate Caramel Nutella Cookies are packed full of so many delicious flavors that you will most likely end up eating way too many of them….at least that is what happened to me.
These cookies are probably a little different than what you are used to. We used a boxed cake mix in this recipe instead of our own dry ingredients. If you haven’t made cookies with a cake mix, you’re in for a real treat! Using the cake mix and Nutella in these chocolate cookies keeps them very moist!
You need these cookies in your life and I promise you are not going to regret it. They are the best cookies I have ever tasted!
Recipe Ingredient Notes
To make Chocolate Caramel Nutella Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
- Devil’s Food Cake Mix (15.25 ounce box)
- Nutella
- Eggs
- Vegetable Oil
- Milk Chocolate Chips
- Kraft Caramel Bits (or Kraft Caramels)
Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How to make Chocolate Caramel Nutella Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 ℉.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, Nutella, eggs and oil until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and caramel bits.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a not greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until done.
Storage Suggestions
If you manage to not eat the whole tray of cookies immediately, these Chocolate Caramel Nutella Cookies store well. Once cookies have completely cooled, here is how you can store them:
- Counter: Store in an airtight container in a single layer for up to 4 days at room temperature. If you want to try and get the cookies to last even longer without becoming crumbly cookies, add a slice of bread into the container of cookies. The bread will give the cookies something to draw moisture from.
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in a single layer for up to 7 days in a refrigerator.
- Freezer: You can freeze precooked cookie dough for cookies later. Just roll out and freeze for 30 minutes, and then transfer to an airtight, freezer safe bag for up to 3 months. To store cooked cookies, let them cool completely before you put them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
Where do I find Caramel Bits?
Can’t find caramel bits at your grocery store? Don’t forget to check the chocolate chip section!
While most grocery stores carry caramel bits, some do not. But don’t worry! You can still make Chocolate Caramel Nutella Cookies.
Grab a bag of your favorite individually wrapped caramels for these cookies. Just cut each caramel into 8 or so pieces and add them into your dough or on top of your cookies.
This caramel is made for baking so it will melt right into the cookies just like the caramel bits would. You won’t even notice the difference!
Why do my nutella caramel cookies stick to the pan?
These cookies are a little sticky due to the caramel bits that are in them. To keep the cookies from sticking to the pan, we recommend lining the pan with parchment paper or using a silpat mat, to bake them on.
We do not recommend spraying the pan with non stick cooking spray. It won’t work as well as the silpat mat or the parchment paper. Cooking spray can also affect the taste of the cookies.
Another option is to leave the caramel out of the cookies until they are scooped onto the pan. You can insert a few caramel pieces into the top of each cookie to keep them off the bottom.
Not only does this help with sticking, but it makes sure each bite is full of delicious melted caramel.
Pro tip: Save some caramel bits for after your roll out your dough and place a few extras on top of each cookie. This will ensure chewy delicious caramel in each bite!

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
OMG, these cookies were so good and easy to make. First time ever trying Nutella and I am so in love and excited to try your other recipes. Thanks so much, SixSistersStuff
These cookies look so delicious with the Nutella!
These taste great! BUT, when I baked them, if any caramel bits were on the bottom of the cookie, they stuck to the pans badly, and they just tore up. Of course, we still ate the torn mess because it was so good though!
After doing some reading, I see that someone recommended using parchment paper when baking with caramel, so I’m going to try that this week. Any other suggestions??
Thanks!
Or if you have a silpat baking mat, they are amazing.
yum these sound super delicious, thanks for sharing this.
