Nutella Cookies

When I found out that my it was my oldest son’s best friend’s birthday, I decided to make a special treat for the kids. I turned on the water sprinkler in the garden, so they could cool down, and then I served delicious Nutella cookies. The Nutella cookies were a hit, and the only problem were that I had not made nearly enough.

If you read my strawberry cookie recipe from last week, you will recognize the recipe, as I used the same recipe and steps. You can find the strawberry cookie recipe under Frugal Baking at the Frugality tab in the top navigation bar.

My kids love these Nutella cookies, and we will definitely be making them again.
