Nutella Cookies!

Today is World Nutella Day.  My daughter is one happy camper.  I love Nutella, but she is  absolutely “nuts” over it.  For her birthday one year we gave her 3 large Jars.  The smile on her face says it all:

Nutella girl

Needless to say we are happy to celebrate Nutella Day and we made some awesome cookies for it!

Nutella Cookies 1

I started out with a simple recipe for thumbprint cookies.  Then I rolled the dough in hazelnuts before making the prints.

Since it’s close to Valentine’s Day I decided that these cookies should have hearts!  So instead of using my thumb I used my pinkie to make 2 impressions that made a heart print!

Even my wonderful husband that doesn’t like Nutella (gasp!)  loved these cookies!  I think I may have won him over! <3
