Holiday cookie exchange time is here. We are up to our elbows in holiday cheer in our kitchen. I love creating simple recipe with just a handful of ingredients that are delicious. These fudgy nutella cookies hit that sweet spot for me and my family and are on our list of holiday favorites.
Whenever I have time, I like to aimlessly wander around different grocery stores. I find ingredients that I haven’t tried yet and sometimes I get great ideas for recipes. If you ever have the chance, I highly recommend checking out different grocery stores. You would be amazed at all the different products that are available.
One day, I was in my regular grocery store looking for apricot marmalade when I spotted the Nutella. I have tasted it before, but had never used it in a recipe.
Until now, that is. These fudgy Nutella cookies are simply delicious. Chewy with crispy edges and easy to make, they are perfect for holiday cookie exchanges, celebrations or after school snacks.
I never did pick up the marmalade. I guess that is another recipe for another time.
