Day 12 of my 12 days of cookies: I’ve saved the best for last… sugar coated Nutella cookies! We all know how popular the chocolate-hazelnut spread has gotten over the past couple of years. I’m definitely on that bandwagon. My fiancé still eats it by the spoonful out of the jar when he thinks I’m not looking.
These cookies are light, buttery soft, and sweet. Unlike most Nutella cookie recipes, you can actually taste the chocolate hazelnut with every bite. If you don’t like your cookies as sweet, then I’d forgo rolling the dough in sugar and baking them as is. Recipe from Living Eventfully.
