Double Chocolate Nutella Cookies-make these crisp chocolatey cookies with your favorite chocolate spread!

As with most of my baking, I usually have no idea what I want to make until I open up my cabinets and see what ingredients jump out at me.

Nutella is one of those things, you either love or hate. There’s no in between. For me, the strong hazelnut flavor takes away from the chocolate. I’m not a fan. My kids on the other hand, like it. Or they used to.

A few years ago, we discovered Nutella.

 

We were behind the trend. My sister was feeding it to her kids 10 years before I bought my first jar.

My kids ate it like it would go out of style at any time. I’d stock up and buy 3-4 jars at a time when I’d find a good sale.

And then they stopped. Just like that.

As good as it is, Nutella will not last forever. Cleaning out my pantry, I had 2 expired jars. I mean really expired. 2011 expired. I should clean out my pantry more often. I blame my kids for not eating it when it was bought. I did have one jar with a few months left on it.

I was not going to let it go to waste.

Cookies were my quick solution. As much as I don’t like Nutella, I love these cookies. There is a slight hint of hazelnut but the bursts of semi-sweet chocolate in the chips, more than covers it. Still soft the first day, these cookies crisp up by the second day.

There may still be some Nutella left in the jar but these cookies disappeared fast!
