Anything with nutella is delicious

The 2nd cookie recipe I made last week was for a more traditional cookie, although this one was with Nutella! If you haven't had Nutella before you should try it; you can even just spread it on crackers if you want.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp.
3/4 cup Nutella
1/2 cup white sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg, 1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt

Directions:
Beat butter, Nutella, and sugars in a large bowl until smooth. Blend in the whole egg, then the egg yolk and vanilla.

Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and slowly mix into the butter mixture (put some muscle into mixing this - it takes awhile to get all of the ingredients incorporated). Press the dough into a ball (the dough will seem a little dry), wrap in saran wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Roll the dough into large balls and place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake until cookie is slightly firm. I tried 8 minutes at first and didn't think they were done, but they were - my next batch was slightly hard so I will be sticking with 8 minutes from now on. Cool on wire racks.
These cookies were incredible. My husband raved about them, and they will definitely be going on my cookie rotation list!
