Hold on a minute before you bolt for the pantry. Maybe, just for the holiday we can consume it in a more civilized manner than digging it straight out of the jar with a spoon. Let's put it into cookies!
Hazelnut Krinkle Cookies
1 – 11 oz. jar of chocolate hazelnut spread (That's right. The whole jar.)
3 c. flour
2 t. baking powder
½ t. salt
¼ c. shortening
1 1/3 cup sugar
1 t. vanilla
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
½ cup chopped, toasted hazelnuts
2 cups finely chopped, toasted hazelnuts
Powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 375F
• Mix dry ingredients.
• In another bowl combine spread and shortening on medium to high in mixer.
• Add sugar. Beat until fluffy.
• Add vanilla and eggs.
• Alternately add milk and flour. Beat on medium just until combined.
• Add 1/2 cup nuts.
• Chill covered several hours until firm.
• Shape into 1” or 1 ½” balls.
• Roll in finely chopped nuts and then powdered sugar.
• Place 2” apart on baking sheet.

Hmmm...a mood-altering substance disguised in chocolate baked goods? Mind blowing concept!
'Tis the season to be jolly.
Mmmmm....nutella!
