Weird Cookies

Before I get to the actual recipe, here is the story behind the cookie:
Before my brother left for Japan we were planning a family goodbye breakfast. I was going to try a new recipe on him (Banana Chocolate French Toast) because I know he likes Nutella and I think he likes bananas. Anyways, I bought everything I needed, and then there was a snow storm so we couldn't travel. We ate all the bananas but the jar of "Nutella" was just sitting in my cupboard because I don't want Jacob to think he can have chocolate on his toast all the time. But, it turns out I didn't buy Nutella, or even no-name hazelnut chocolate spread... no, I bought dark chocolate spread. Wow, that would have been good with bananas and french toast! But Jeff doesn't really like french toast enough for me to make it. So, to use up this spread I went online and found a recipe for Nutella cookies. There is no flour or sugar which is kind of strange. I rolled the cookies into one inch balls and baked for about six and a half minutes. I got about 36 cookies. They are weird, but tasty.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella®)

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F 
  2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; add the egg, vanilla, and chocolate-hazelnut spread and mix by hand until well blended. Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and place on a baking sheet 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until crispy on the outside, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to rest on cookie sheet a few minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool.
