Hazelnut Chocolate Oatmeal Crunchy Cookies

By srumbel

Actually, since I made them the first time just a few weeks ago, I have made them twice. Yes it's kind of a new obsession. I LOVE these cookies and so did Wade. He's not big on cookies, cake or pie but he really loved these cookies.

Ingredients

• 2 cups light brown sugar
• 1 stick butter, unsalted and softened
• 2 tsp vanilla (I used NuNaturals)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3 cups old fashioned oats
• 2 HEAPING TBSP of hazelnut chocolate spread (like Nutella, I used a store brand)

Preparation

Step 1

350 degrees at 12-14 minutes for a crunchy cookie, 10-12 for a softer cookie. I personally like crunchy and W really liked them that way too. This recipe made 36 LARGE cookies and they were gone in 2 days!
In a bowl using an electric mixer, cream brown sugar and butter. Add in the vanilla and eggs. Once combined slowly add in your dry ingredients. Slowly or you'll be covered in flour! Yes I've done this. Lastly stir in the hazelnut spread.
This will be a light fluffy batter, very creamy and delicious.
Drop onto a greased cookie sheet by the TBSP and bake.
Cool on a wire rack and ENJOY! Store in an air tight container but don't worry they won't last long.
