All Hail Nutella

In Europe, I think it's fair to say that everything can be made with Nutella. Crepes filled with Nutella as street food, Nutella flavored gelato, cornetti [croissants] stuffed with Nutella, tiny Nutella packets to go on your bread at breakfast, the list is endless.

Baking in my kitchen here is a huge struggle for many reasons. 1. We don't have measuring spoons and cups so we always guess, 2. We have to light our gas oven and never know the temperature of the thing, 3. Finding baking powder, sugar, flour, and vanilla was about a month long process and I'm not sure the ingredients even work the same here. Needless to say, I miss making cookies, muffins, cakes, etc. [Yes, I know I sound like an old lady but hey, I like to bake :) ]

Back to Nutella, it is the hero of my baking struggles so far. Pinterest brought me an awesome recipe for easy, 4 ingredient Nutella cookies that have been the most successful treat we've made so far! The oven still burned the bottoms a little but I'm working on it and they're still incredible!

1 cup Nutella

1 cup flour

1 egg

Mix together the Nutella, flour, and egg. Roll into balls and place on a baking tray. Flatten them with the bottom of a glass. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes. While still warm, sprinkle with salt and allow to cool. Enjoy :)
