Nutella Cookies
Ingredients-

• 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
• 1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup of chopped hazelnut
• 1 (9-ounce) package of chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped (recommended: Hershey's)

Directions-

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In another medium bowl, place the chocolate hazelnut spread, butter, and both sugars. Using a hand mixer, cream the ingredients together, about 3 minutes. Add the

egg and vanilla and blend until incorporated. Stir in the dry ingredients, just until incorporated. Stir in the hazelnuts.

Shape the cookie dough into walnut-sized balls. Place the cookies on a heavy cookie sheet about 4 inches apart. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven. Quickly place a chocolate kiss in the middle of each cookie. Return the cookies to the oven and bake for another 3 minutes. Cool the cookies on a wire rack.
