I love Nutella and cookies, specifically chocolate chip.  I can put Nutella on or in (almost) everything…crepes, apples, bread, and even spoons.  So, today’s recipe has jumped to be my favorite cookie recipe.  It is an Oatella Chocolate Chip cookie.  Yep…oatmeal and chocolate chips and Nutella!  What could be better?!  Follow the recipe below and I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

1 3/4 cups flour

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup softened butter

1/2 cup crisco (in stick form)

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup dark brown sugar

2 large eggs

One 13-oz. jar Nutella

2 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a medium bowl, whisk dry ingredients

In a large bowl or in stand mixer beat the butter, crisco and sugars at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes

Add the Nutella, and beat until smooth

Reduce the speed, and beat in the dry ingredients

Stir in the oats and chips
