nutella cookies

i was craving for something nutella sometime last week, and spreading it on bread didn’t help much. initially i thought of baking self-frosting nutella cupcakes, but i wasn’t particular feeling cake-ish, so i googled for a cookie recipe… and found this:

1 1/3 cup plain flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
7 tbsp butter
2/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup Nutella
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 170C.
2. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla essence and Nutella. Mix in egg.
4. Add in the flour mixture. Add chocolate chips, if desired.
5. Bake 11-13 minutes.

the boy loved it; so did his couple of friends who got a taste of it. i thought the taste of the nutella didn’t come through that much (as it usually does after baking). probably next time i shall leave out the chocolate chips.
