• Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies

  This is a guest post from Kirbie's Cravings.
  
  

  

  If you like nutella and you like chocolate chip cookies, you should make these. They are sweet, chewy, fudgy, absolutely delicious.

  My favorite part of all is that they stay fudgy and chewy, even the next day. For the past few months I've been trying out various popular chocolate chip cookie recipes. Some have required quite a few extra steps such as refrigerating, using bread flour, etc. Many have promised to be chewy, but end up being cakey the day after they are baked. 

  

  These tasted as good the next day as the day they were baked. And the recipe was easy and simple. I don't know if it is nutella that made the cookies stay fudgy and chewy or what. I found the recipe from JustJenn, who is always providing such great creative ideas.

  

  I only wish I had attempted this recipe sooner. This is definitely going on my favorites list.

  

  It's interesting that these look like regular chocolate chip cookies. When I mixed the nutella in the dough, it turned the dough pretty dark. I thought the cookies would come out darker than regular chocolate chip cookies, but they are still pretty light. When you bite into the cookies, you can see the layer of nutella in the middle.

  

  I made my cookies fairly big because I like them that way. I followed the recipe as is, except for one little changel. I thoroughly mixed the nutella in the dough, rather than leaving some of it unmixed. I debated whether I wanted a more uniform look or a swirl look, and opted to try making the dough a uniform color.
