Nutella Sandwich Cookies

I love baking cookies. These are very good with a nice cup of coffee in the morning or at night.

Nutella Sandwich Cookies

• 1/2 c. butter, softened
• 1/3 c. sugar
• 1/3 c. brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 t. vanilla
• 1 1/2 c. flour
• 3/4 c. oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking)
• 1/2 t. baking powder
• 1/4 t. baking soda
• 1/8 t. salt
• Nutella

1. Beat the butter and sugars together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat an additional minute.

2. Pour the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt into the mixing. Beat just until well combined.

3. Roll, a teaspoon of dough at a time, into balls. Evenly space the balls on a cookie. With a glass bottom, press down on the cookies to flatten them into circles. Try to get them all roughly the same size.

4. Bake at 375 degrees for 5-7 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

5. Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a layer of Nutella on the bottoms of half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies to make sandwiches. You can also sprinkle coarse sugar ontop before you bake the cookie part too.

This makes about 2 1/2 – 3 dozen sandwiches.
