Loved the chocolate flavors, and if you are a chocoholic these treats might be perfect for you. Nice, soft, and had texture. Used some semi-sweet dark chocolate chips I had on hand. Made for Pick A Chef 2012

I had Nutella in my cupboard and needed to use it up so I am glad I chose this recipe.I left the cookies in for 10 minutes and took them out so they were nice and chewy.I used half whole wheat flour and half all purpose flour.Very tasty!

The texture of these is just wonderful: similar to the corners of a pan of brownies! I tweaked the recipe a bit by substituting 2 tsp of almond extract instead of the vanilla, and I used dark chocolate chips. I took them to a cookie exchange and I'll be making more for the family. Thanks for a yummy recipe!
