Nutella

Like many other college students, I love Nutella. Aside from eating it with pretzels or putting it on toast, Nutella is great for baking. Last weekend my dad and sister came to visit so I tried out some new dessert recipes since I was cooking for more than myself.

Menu: Nutella Cookies and Nutella Crescent Rolls

The Nutella Cookies were incredibly easy to make, and they only require 3 ingredients.



Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup flour

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Mix all 3 ingredients
  3. Roll into dough
  4. Divide the dough up into about 8-10 cookies
  5. Bake 6-8 minutes (depending on thickness)



Next is the Nutella Crescent Rolls. (I like to call them Nutella Pods)
As you can see in the picture, these tend to pop open when they bake, but that doesn't really matter.


Ingredients:
  • Nutella
  • Crescent Rolls
  • Cinnamon Sugar

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Place Nutella in center of crescent roll
  3. Pinch crescent roll closed
  4. Roll in cinnamon sugar
  5. Bake 13 minutes
I divided up each crescent roll so that I made 2 of these Nutella pods from each roll. This makes them smaller and more like a finger food dessert. Be careful not to put too much Nutella though or the crescent roll won't close which makes it harder to roll in the cinnamon sugar.
