Nutella

I finally decided to buy some Nutella. I've wanted to try it for as long as I can remember. Why it took me so long to get the stuff? I have no clue. I discovered I love Nutella on a whole grain English muffin with apple and banana slices. mmmmmm. I also discovered I love Nutella cookies. I baked snickerdoodles for work last week and decided to throw these together too. The hubster and I loved them. Chocolaty Goodness with just a hint of hazelnut. Very good. I'd give them an 8.
