Nutella Goodness

My fave admin assistant is leaving me for greener pastures :( I'm super happy for him, but I will surely miss him, his quick responses to my email and the fact that he never once complained about the amount of packages I receive in the office. LOL, I have a slight eBay addiction, but that's a story for another time.

I originally found out he loved Nutella when I brought a loaf of my Nutella Banana Bread to the office. I often bring my baked goods to the office because I love to bake, I always bake too much in quantity and I really shouldn't be consuming every last item I bake!

Since he loves Nutella, I decided to make my Nutella cookies. The recipe is ridiculously easy!

Nutella Cookies
Makes about 16 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 heaping cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (I used Himalayan Pink...because it's so pretty, haha!)


Instructions


  1. Put all ingredients in a mixing bowl (preferably one that will fit in your freezer) and stir with a heavy spoon until well combined
  2. Place dough in freezer for 10 minutes
  3. After 10 minutes, remove bowl from freezer. Using a spoon, scoop and shape dough into 1 inch balls.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  5. Place each ball 2 inches apart. Flatten with palm of hand or bottom of bowl and use your fingers to pinch the cracks that appear on the edges together. 
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, all the while drooling over the delicious Nutella smell emanating from your oven!
  7. Remove from oven, let cool and ENJOY! 
I'm really very terrible at following step #7, I'm the girl who burns her fingertips because she can't wait for the cookies to cool! I end up grabbing a spoon, scooping up and eating the scalding, still soft cookie. LOL


The cookies were a hit, yay!


Sweet Nutella Dreams,
VV
