Ever cracked open a cookie expecting magic, only to find it dry, dull, and barely edible? If you’re gluten-free, chances are you’ve been there — more than once. At Bite Gluten Free, we’re rewriting that story.

We believe gluten-free baking should be just as indulgent, just as exciting, and never feel like a compromise.

So we took one of the world’s most iconic flavour pairings — Nutella and roasted hazelnuts — and transformed it into an unforgettable NYC-style cookie that just happens to be 100% gluten-free and completely safe for coeliacs.

This is not just a cookie. This is decadence you can trust.

🔥 What You’re Really Here For: That Gooey Nutella Centre

Let’s start with what makes this cookie an absolute standout.

We don’t just swirl Nutella into the dough. We stuff each cookie with a full spoonful of rich, velvety Nutella — and when it bakes, it melts into a molten centre that oozes out with every bite.

Warm or room temp, the result is the same: A thick, fudgy core of pure chocolate-hazelnut luxury.

It’s that soft, gooey, centre-of-the-cookie magic — and it’s gluten free.

🌰 The Power of Roasted Hazelnuts

Nutella is nothing without the nut.

We toast our whole hazelnuts until golden, then chop and fold them generously through the cookie dough. The result?

A buttery, crunchy bite in every mouthful
A deep, nutty aroma that enhances the chocolate flavour
A luxurious finish that makes this cookie feel truly elevated

They’re not just a garnish. The roasted hazelnuts are the soul of this cookie — layered, textured, and grounding.

🍪 NYC Style: Big, Bold, and Baked to Perfection

Like all our NYC-style cookies, this one is:

Thick and chunky, with a satisfyingly golden edge
Delicious Nutella oozing in the centre
Just the right balance of sweet, salty, and rich
Made with gluten-free flours that feel and taste just like the real thing

It’s got that handmade, bakery quality look and feel — because you deserve more than flat, lifeless cookies in plastic wrap.

Why This Cookie Means So Much (From Me, a Coeliac)

When I was diagnosed with coeliac disease, I didn’t just miss gluten. I missed the experience of food that made me feel something — the joy of biting into something decadent and rich and just right.

Too often, gluten-free baking means compromise: dry textures, weird aftertastes, or worse, having to constantly ask, “Is this safe for me?”

That’s why I built Bite Gluten Free: To create bakes that feel like a luxury, not a substitute. To give you that can’t-wait-to-take-another-bite feeling, without fear or hesitation.

This Nutella cookie is my love letter to that mission. It’s the cookie I wished I could find — so I made it myself.
