Nutella Oatmeal Cookies
Remember that Nutella Day……..MONTHS ago??? Yeah, I don’t think I had ever heard of Nutella day and had never even ever purchased some until the beau brought some over one day. Hmmm, it was good, but I wasn’t sure how technically healthy it was. As you may know, I don’t keep too much sugar and chocolate around. Salt, a true weakness for me. Nutella……well it was yummy…..but I could just see the pounds literally jump on board!
So, there it was still staring up at me on my “to do” list cupboard the other day and I decided it was time to try it out. I don’t even remember Who I got this from but you can bet it was on Tastespotting somewhere.
And I want you to know, these were extremely easy, and were absolutely excellent!! I was pleasantly surprised!

I really loved these cookies. The chocolate wasn’t overwhelming like a lot of chocolate chip cookies. But if you are a huge fan, add more chips. This amount for me was perfect!!
Wore my mini apron!! Not much splatter…..and stay cool in the kitchen! Happy Summertime.
Bon Appetit!
