along with the soft frosted sugar cookies, i brought a batch of these chocolate nutella cookies with me to denver to share with our family friends.  these are super simple cookies that have the perfect amount of chocolate and nutella flavor.  they are  also soft, kind of chewy cookies and actually very easy to make.

oh a couple notes, i didn’t have any hazelnut extract in my pantry but i think i’m going to pick some up next time that i plan on making these cookies – it would have definitely helped the nutella flavor be a bit stronger.  also i used natural cocoa powder instead of the dutch processed called for in the original recipe and it worked fine.  enjoy!
