Chocolate Nutella cookie or best ever “family time”?
Baking with family….can it be a better occasion to spend some quality time together?! No watching Netflix or playing video games, no phones or spending time in social networks with each of the contacts on the list discussing the very new series on the very same Netflix or how to fight a “Boss” on the next level of kids favorite RPG.
I found it quite exciting and educating to bake with my little one. She is very good at helping and genuinely does so. I even often forget that I’m working in the kitchen with a kid. What is interesting though – this simple exercise not only helps to reunite the family for few hours but also teaches kids to deal with fails and celebrate success, remember the recipes (and in general improve the memory) and play with imagination, work in the team and be “more” patient….and that’s just a few. Being so easy thing to do – baking is greatly improving your relationship with a kid and develops lots of practical skills for their great future.
Talking about the recipe
There is very little to talk about, to be honest ). The chocolate Nutella cookie recipe is easy to make and is based on the standard chocolate cookies formulation. Instead of using fat and sugar, I decided to grab some hazelnut spread. To indulge cookie texture and deliver a nice cracking surface – I simply added eggs to the recipe. Despite it simplicity recipe is truly delicious and should be tried at least once :). I’m sure that after the first bake You will be keeping frozen stock for years to come.
And now let’s crack it on!!!
PS for all chocolate lovers I highly recommend trying my explicitly delicious chocolate brownies.
