Nutella Kisses

knobbyknee's Note:

I love Nutella, so when I came across this cookie, I had to try it! The cookie tastes great, but I wanted it to be less crispy, more chewy. It has a chocolate kiss in the center-I made the recipe as is, but next time I will leave out the kisses in some (not a huge fan of plain milk chocolate).

• Total Time: 26 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 11 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 12-24

Yield: 24.0 cookies

• ½ cup nutella
• ½ cup butter , softened
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 24 Hershey's chocolate kisses
• sugar , for rolling cookie dough

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375*.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt, whisk to combine.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the Nutella, sugars and butter. Cream for about 3 minutes, then add the vanilla and egg. Blend until combined.
4. Stir in dry ingredients just until combined.
5. Shape cookie dough into walnut-sized balls, then roll into the extra sugar. Place on cookie sheet about 4 inches apart.

I love Nutella so I was really excited about trying this recipe. I have to say that the Nutella flavor wasn't as strong as I had hoped. I don't care for Hershey's kisses so I used a small square of dark chocolate instead and put a hazelnut in the middle when they came out of the oven. They are a very tasty cookie, just not a very strong Nutella flavor.

These cookies are fantastic! I made a mistake by using white chocolate striped kisses instead of using the regular chocolate kisses. I thought it would look nice. Well, The white ones got little brown tips and never hardened back up. I had to stick them in the fridge to make the kisses harden. heh heh! USE REGULAR KISSES! They are nice and chewy and have a great flavor! I will definately bake them again with the regular kisses.

As I was making these, I was very sad to see the Nutella jar get so empty so quickly; however, these are fabulous and well worth it. I'm thinking about trying them with Hershey's caramel kisses next time. Thanks!
