Mini.Nutella.Cups.

The other day, Will was complaining that I look at Pinterest too much.  I politely reminded him that without Pinterest, he wouldn't have lots of yummy dinners and desserts. 

I've made these Mini Nutella Cups a couple of times and they have been a hit!  They are really easy, and honestly, it involves Nutella, enough said!

If you can mix ingredients in a bowl, you can make these!

1 cup butter

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 jar of Nutella

Preheat oven to 350 and grease mini muffin tin

Cream butter and both sugars in a bowl until smooth.  Beat in eggs an vanilla until fully incorporated.  Gradually add dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) until fully mixed. (I added about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter to the ones I made for the kickoff, but you don’t have to do that)

Roll dough into ball and place in mini muffin tin.  You don’t want to fully fill the cups of the tin, then the cookie will be too big.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown, remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes

Using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a shot class (my method) make a well in the cookies.  Add Nutella to each cup.  The heat from the cookie will begin to melt the Nutella and you can swirl it and make it look pretty. 

Remove them from the tin after about 10 minutes.  Nutella should solidify in about an hour, but they are even better when still warm!

Makes about 60 cups, but you can halve the recipe or make the whole thing and freeze the dough balls.
