  • 36

Ingredients

  • 2 cups coarsley chopped nuts, toasted
  • 3/4 cup Nutella
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 stick butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Preparation

Step 1

To toast nuts: preheat oven to 350. Place nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Stir once or twice to prevent scorching.

Get the following ingredients ready now as you will need to add them quickly later on. Toast nuts and chop. Set aside. In a small bowl, mix Nutella and vanilla. Set aside. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper. Set aside.

Place butter, sugar, salt, milk, and cocoa in a nonstick saucepan. Bring to a boil while frequently stirring to prevent scorching. Boil for a full 2 minutes.

Remove from heat. Wait 2 full minutes for the boiling to subside and the mixture to cool off a bit. Stir in the Nutella mixture and the chopped nuts.

Drop the cookies by the tablespoon onto the lined baking sheets. As they cool, they'll harden. To speed up the process, slip the pan into the refrigerator.
