Nutella No Bake Cookies

I had to make these for you.

After last week's delicioso Nutella Scones, I had a half of a container of Nutella left over.  Bad news.

Why?  Because some of us fight a daily battle to keep our jeans the perfect mix of comfortably loose but securely fastened.  Nutella is the enemy of all fashion-conscious dieters.

I needed something to use up the gooey delicious hazelnut spread to prevent myself from countless inevitable spoonfuls of gluttonous heaven.

This recipe is the perfect mix of easy peasy and downright breathtakingly wonderful.  And, it's easy to donate them because everybody loves them.

You take the cookies.  I'll keep my hip huggin' jeans thankyouverymuch.



Nutella No Bake Cookies
(adapted from My Fabulous Recipes)

2 cups sugar
1 stick butter
1/2 cup milk
1 cup Nutella
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups oatmeal

Bring sugar, butter and milk to a boil in a large saucepan.  Continue to boil for 1-2 minutes.  If you're a fan of making fudge, boil this to the soft ball stage.

Take off heat and stir in the vanilla, Nutella and oatmeal.

Use a spoon and drop dollops of the cookie mixture onto a piece of waxed paper.  Let cool and harden.
