These are my new favorite cookie!
I think I will just refer to them as my crack cookies.
They are addicting!
Creamy, dreamy Nutella spread is sandwiched between two chewy chocolate chip Nutella Cookies!
I’ve already made two batches.
Once as written, using mini chocolate chips,
and once using regular size chocolate chips and making them into Chocolate Chip Nutella sandwich Cookies!
This cookie started as a Culinary Concoctions by Peabody, creator of all things decadent! She took a simple peanut butter cookie recipe and substituted Nutella.
Then Erin from Erin’s Food Files adapted it by using Frangelico liquor instead of vanilla extract and posted that recipe. Bet that was good!
My friend Kathleen from “Deja Vu” Cook found it at Erin’s, and adapted it back to the original recipe using the vanilla extract.
That is where I found the recipe and decided to make them into a sandwich cookie using Nutella spread as the filling.
I ♥ Nutella!
I evidently worked with a few Nutella virgins, and I wanted them to be able to taste the raw pleasure of pure Nutella.

These look so good. I love Nutella, although have found an even better version from one of the local supermarkets. And now all I can think about is Nutella! Hope you are well.
As I sit here sick as a dog and wanting something sweet with no energy I went to my pantry grabbed by Nutella and took a spoonfull. I want these cookies. Everyone is going Nutell grazy lately. I went to a party and someone made Nutella covered spicy bacon….
