Feeling rather down and depressed a few days ago, I found myself wandering into the pantry and opening a rather snugly sealed jar of Nutella. I slid a spoon out of the silverware drawer and dipped it into the jar, coming away with a generous teaspoonful of the creamy chocolate-hazelnut spread. Eating it plain and simply, my spirits began to lift. So I dug in for another spoonful and enjoyed that one too. Down and out no more, I came to the conclusion that Nutella has secret healing powers… and it tastes better than anything you’ll find in your medicine cabinet 🙂
These cookies will also cheer you up: Chocolate- Nutella Thumbprint Cookies.
They’re a simple chocolate cookie dough (no chill needed)- rolled into balls and imprinted with your thumb.
Once they’re baked, let them cool a bit. Then you can get to work filling the cookies with Nutella- either spooning it in or using a small scoop.
Use the spoon/scoop to wiggle the Nutella into place inside the cookie so it looks all swirly and creamy and yummy.
See, you feel better already… don’t you? Note to self… and to others: Only utilize Nutella for healing powers every once in a while. I think that’s self-explanatory 🙂

Can I get the nutrition information on these? Can a diabetic eat these, how many carbs are in them?
@Rhonda, No idea on the nutritional information on these- sorry. I would assume carbs are high.
NHAM! NHAM! Looks delicious!
I love your blog!!!!
I love Nutella and can hardly wait to try this recipe. We never knew what it was until my husband began traveling to Germany years ago. He’d get those little packets of the stuff with his meals (yeah, it was a long time ago as meals are almost non-existent on airlines now) and bring them home to the kids. Next it was bringing home a jar or two when he went on a trip and now, thankfully, you can buy it in almost any grocery store!! Thanks for sharing something that will certainly work as a “pick-me-up”. 🙂
@Sandi, You’re welcome!
Nutella straight out of the jar will fix anything. These cookies look amazing! I’ll definitely be baking them soon
*sigh*
Nutella does have magical powers! 😉 You are so right!
I have a feeling I’ll be making these soon.
since these are small cookies they are probably less calories. I should definitely make these and not feel guilty having more than one!
