Chocolate Hazelnut Crack Ups

Next recipe from Food52.com is this Chocolate Hazelnut Crack Ups, that was waiting for me to make it. Though the recipe is such a simple and quick one, when one is missing their mojo, even a simple one sounds complicated. 

I had to make it this afternoon, after waiting to make it late night. Then while making sunday lunch, I thought it would be the best time. This recipe yielded about 2 dozens. One batch is still cooling in the oven, while one batch was stored in a box. When I came back from my nap, I saw the box as new as ever! I am yet to reveal to the kids that second batch is still cooling down. 

Best part is, the Nutella masked the peanut and unless one saw it, can't feel it. However the taste is still there. The recipe asks for 1 tsp Baking Soda, I felt it was little too much. Will reduce it next time.

The cookies tastes just as it looked, gooey, moist and sinful.With the baking time being just under 10 mins, this is the most quickest cookie you can make. I had the Nutella bottle hidden just for this recipe. And kids knew a whole lot of it had gone into this. So they were all the more excited to enjoy these for their afternoon snacks.
