Nutella Chip Cookies

This week, Baked Sunday Mornings is baking Nutella chip cookies from Making these cookies was a cake walk, especially compared with some of the

I thought the dough was delicious and full of the sweet chocolate-hazelnut flavor I love from Nutella, but once baked the Nutella flavor became so muted that no one knew they were eating a Nutella-laced cookie until I told them so. In fairness, I did leave out the toasted and coarsely chopped hazelnuts, because I don't like nuts in my cookies and because hazelnuts are so expensive I didn't have any in the house when I made these. Maybe if I had had the chopped hazelnuts in there, these cookies would have tasted a lot more like a Nutella cookie instead of just a soft, rather forgettable, chocolate cookie with chocolate chips. Or maybe I should have chilled the dough for even longer, up to the maximum 48 hours, thus giving the Nutella long enough to marry with the other ingredients and transform into a deeply addictive Nutella cookie. I'm not sure. This is a shockingly short post (for me, anyway). I guess it's obvious that I wasn't a huge fan. There are so many cookies I like from Baked Occasions that I doubt I'll find myself making these again. But maybe that's just me! Head over to Baked Sunday Mornings for the recipe and to see what the other bakers thought of these.
