Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies


***Last Friday night, Brad and I got an invite to an impromptu dinner party...What fun!  We were both excited, and of course, I immediately started to think about what I could take along for dessert.  I was in the mood for cookies, but not the same-ole', same-ole' variety.  I wanted to try something new, but using the ingredients that I had on-hand was a necessity.  A trip to the grocery store was not in the cards if I wanted to be on time.  So, I began browsing through cookbooks and blogs for just-the-right recipe.

As soon as I found this recipe for Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies, my search was over.  First of all, you can't go wrong with chocolate chip cookies.  Who doesn't adore an ooey gooey cookie filled with chocolate pieces??  Secondly, Nutella is such a fun ingredient.  I had never even thought to add it to cookie batter.  Its combination of chocolate and hazelnuts is just divine.

This recipe didn't disappoint...The cookies were indeed incredible.  They were simple to make and bake up in only about 10 minutes.  The brown sugar in these cookies adds a wonderful depth of flavor, when paired with the nutella.  I used 60% cocoa Ghiradelli chocolate pieces in these cookies, which are a little larger than regular chocolate morsels.  The best part of these cookies is the fact that they are just as yummy the next day.  These don't get all hard and crunchy like some cookies do (as long as you don't bake them too long!).  The nutella keeps them perfectly chewy.  The trick is to take them out of the oven a tiny bit before you normally would.  I pulled mine out of the oven at around the 10 or 11 minute mark.  They will continue to bake for a few seconds on the cookie sheet.

You'll LOVE these! 

Bon Appetit!***

I made these today and they were good but I couldnt taste any Nutella and I added more Nutella then the recipe calls for. A little disappointed :-(

I made these cookies today and found that the first batch, baked for 10 minutes, ended up too soft and a bit messy/sticky on the bottom. Hard to get off the cookie sheet. Baked the second batch for 11-12 minutes and they firmed up great! No goo on the bottoms. I also left them on the cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes or more before I took them off. Turned out great! I think the white sugar could be cut in half. They are very sweet. Great cookie for Nutella/chocolate lovers!

Based on comments I reduced white sugar to 1/2 c and increased Nutella to 1/2 c. I reduced oven temp to 300 and baked for about 18 min. I also used bittersweet chocolate chips. Delicious. Next time I think I'll use Frangelico instead of vanilla for more hazelnut flavor.

Absolutely Sinful Cinnamon Rolls

***Alrighty, here are the cinnamon rolls that I mentioned in my previous post. I put these together on Christmas Eve, and then baked them on Christmas morning. Let me just tell you...there's nothing quite like the smell of yummy cinnamon rolls wafting through the house on Christmas morning...ahhhhh...so wonderful! This is going to be a new tradition for us...fresh, homemade rolls on Christmas. I thought that I might try this recipe, and then maybe try a new one next year...until I found one that I really loved. However, I hit the jackpot on the first try! This is THE recipe that I'll always use. UPDATE:   Since originally writing this post in 2008, I've  made these cinnamon rolls every year for Christmas!  They are a holiday tradition that my family looks forward to all year!  You can see my other posts here, with lots more photos of these sinful cinnamon rolls: CHRISTMAS 2009 CHIRSTMAS 2010 CHRISTMAS 2011 The great thing was that I could prepare them on Christmas

My Favorite Quiche!

***It's not often that a recipe is worthy of re-posting.  I think I've only done that once or twice in the entire time I've written this blog.  However, this is one of those rare occasions.  Back in 2009 when Brad and I went to Europe, we had the most amazing Quiche Lorraine at the incredible Les Deux Magots cafe in Paris.  It was delicious and was served alongside a yummy salad of fresh greens (Quiche Lorraine sur Salade Verte).  Oh, it was heaven on a plate!  It also didn't hurt that we were sitting on the patio of one of the most famous cafes in Paris, after all...haha.  The atmosphere and people-watching in that particular area are hard to beat. I'll never forget the elderly lady that was sitting at the table right next to us (the tables were situated pretty close together).  She was dressed to-the-nines, was all by herself, and was just the quintessential, classy Parisian lady.  I wish more than anything that I had tried to strike up a conversation with her

Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread - Southern Living

***There seriously aren't very many things that smell better than Banana Nut Bread baking in the oven.   Don't you agree?  This recipe for Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread from Southern Living magazine was one of the very first recipes that I added to this blog...back in November 2007!  In fact, I came across it when I worked for the magazine as a Marketing Intern.  Back then, I didn't have a photo for every recipe, and the blog post was simply the recipe and nothing else.  Because this is my go-to recipe for Banana Nut Bread (and because it is so amazing!), I thought that it deserved a little more attention.  This is quite honestly some of the best Banana Nut Bread that I've ever had.  An entire 8oz. package of cream cheese is added right to the batter, along with 4 mashed bananas.  The cream cheese adds so much to this recipe, with an incredibly moist texture being the main component.  Plus, the roasted pecans are the perfect addition.  Roasting the nuts brings out
