These chocolate dipped gluten free Nutella biscuits are the perfect treat for anyone who loves chocolate and hazelnut. Made with Nutella and gluten free flour, these homemade biscuits have a deliciously crisp texture and are finished with a layer of smooth milk chocolate for an extra indulgent bite.

If you're looking for an easy gluten free biscuit recipe, these are a great one to try. The Nutella gives the biscuits a rich chocolate hazelnut flavour without making them overly sweet, while the chocolate coating makes them feel a little more special. They're perfect with a cup of tea or coffee, for an afternoon treat, or simply when you fancy something sweet.

These gluten free Nutella cookies are also a great bake if you're new to gluten free baking. The dough is simple to work with, although chilling it is important as it can become soft when you're rolling and cutting the biscuits.

Tips for making gluten free Nutella biscuits

For the best results, chill the dough before rolling it out and work with it in batches. Gluten free biscuit dough can soften quite quickly, particularly in a warm kitchen, so popping it back into the fridge for a little while makes it much easier to handle.

Don't worry if the biscuits still feel slightly soft when they first come out of the oven. They will firm up as they cool, giving you a lovely crisp biscuit that's ready to be dipped in chocolate.

Make sure the biscuits are completely cool before adding the chocolate coating. This helps the chocolate set properly and gives you a neat, glossy finish.

Once the chocolate has set, store the biscuits in an airtight container. They can be kept in the fridge for several days, and chilling them also helps keep the chocolate topping firm. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating if you prefer a slightly softer texture.

If you're a fan of chocolate biscuits, Nutella and easy gluten free baking, these are definitely worth adding to your recipe collection!

Here are some tips and FAQs about Chocolate Dipped Gluten Free Nutella Biscuits

Yes, Nutella is gluten free, it has no gluten ingredients in the UK and also has no may contain warning.

Yes, these gluten free Nutella biscuits can be frozen. Allow the biscuits to cool completely and store them in an airtight freezer-safe container. If you plan to freeze them with the chocolate topping, place baking paper between layers to prevent them sticking together.

Yes, you can use another chocolate hazelnut spread instead of Nutella. Just check the ingredients and allergen information to make sure the spread is suitable for a gluten free diet. You could even use something like the Marks and Spencer Cookies and Cream Spread or a pistachio Creme so give the biscuits a different flavour.

This recipe has not been developed as a dairy free recipe, but you may be able to adapt it using suitable dairy free alternatives. Check every ingredient carefully, including the chocolate hazelnut spread and chocolate used for dipping, as these can contain milk.

Method

  1. Mix together the gluten free plain flour and brown sugar in a large bowl then rub in softened butter to get a bread crumb consistency.

  2. Add in Nutella (or other gluten free chocolate spread if preferred) to the gluten free flour mix, lightly warmed in microwave will make it easier to mix in, and combine together, this can take a bit of working in but will all evenly spread through eventually.

  3. Use your hands to bring the mix together, add a little milk and bring into a firm gluten free dough ball. Add flour if it is to wet, more milk if to dry but don't over add, just do it little by little. Roll up and cover in clingfilm, chill for at least an hour to firm up (or 10 mins in the freezer if you want to speed it up).

  4. Roll the gluten free dough out to around 3mm thickness and cut into rounds, I used a 2.5inch cookie cutter and got 28 biscuits from it. Work quick and chill between rolls as it goes soft and hard to handle very fast.

  5. Place your gluten free biscuit rounds on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper, they do spread slightly to space at least an inch apart. Bake on gas mark 4/180c for 12-15 mins. They will be very soft when you remove from the oven, let them cool on the tray for a few mins before attempting to move to a cooling rack.

  6. Let the gluten free biscuits go completely cold then melt some milk chocolate, (I usually use Galaxy but you can find other gluten free chocolate on my chocolate and sweets blog) and dip the tops of the biscuits into the chocolate, use a fork to add some decoration dragging swirls on the top. Let them set then enjoy! Top tip from me - keep them in the fridge, they taste so much better!

I do also have another gluten free Nutella biscuit recipe which uses just 3 ingredients and great for another easy Nutella make!
