Oatmeal Nutella Swirl Cookies
I am officially burnt out! Thank goodness it is Thursday and the weekend is almost here. This week with training has been so rough. I cannot believe how much I have done this week and as I look back on it…I am amazed that I am not falling asleep as I type this, haha. Whew…just one of those weeks. Next week should be much better and this weekend should be nice and relaxing for once.
As a side note! Happy Birthday Mom! She had a birthday yesterday and I thought she deserved a mention. 🙂
How is the weather for you this week? It has been uncharacteristically hot for Connecticut. It has been in the 90s all this week (not good for those softball and kickball games I have…I think I sweated my weight out yesterday during kickball). We actually had a wicked string of thunderstorms last night. We even got hail at my house! Crazy weather in the northeast these past few weeks.
Onto the main event…cookies! These cookies were something that I completely made up and added things that I had laying around. They ended up being a super simple cookie that turned out really well. Try them out and let me know what you think!
Ingredients for Cookies:
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2-3 tablespoons Nutella
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350º.
Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk until blended.
Place sugar and butter in a large bowl, beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Beat in vanilla and egg. Add flour mixture, beating at low speed just until combined.
Add in mini chocolate chips. Stir in the Nutella (I heated it just slightly so that it was easier to work with), do not stir in all the way. You want it to “swirl”.
Drop by level tablespoons 2 inches apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until bottoms of cookies just begin to brown. Remove from pan, and cool completely on wire racks.
After the cookies had cooled just slightly I drizzled some Nutella on the tops, just for some added yumminess. 😉
I hope you are all having a great week! Apologies again to all my favorite foodies for not checking out your recent posts. I will! I promise ::crosses heart:: 🙂

See? You are SO amazing! Totally burned out and overworked and you still manage to make cookies. And wow, what wonderful cookies they are ! I adore oatmeal, and with our new found love of nutella these will do just fine, thanks!
Hope the weekend is a good one. We have 23 hours until school is over…. not that I’m counting. I’m beat. But the weather is yucky… 63, grey and breezy. Downright chilled to the bones… I’ll trade you!

Oatmeal is my favorite and these look awesome! I sometimes do my best work in the kitchen when I’m burnt out. Baking becomes a stress reliever for me!

I am ready to get out of town today. I feel like I have been shut in for awhile-the 100 degree weather doesn’t help.
This cookie looks like a keeper. I have yet to use any Nutella in baking, so I need to get with it. Happy birthday to your mom and have a wonderful weekend.

I accept the cookies as you apologies, he he. So when should I expect my delivery. I was working with Nutella and oats myself, we must be on the same wavelength. Please wish your mom a Happy Belated B-day for me.

And you were still able to post these yummy cookies – my daughter is home so let the baking begin! Hope you had a relaxing weekend and this week gives you some breathing room. I was totally AOL last week, too – with hubs in the hospital and driving to Santa Cruz to pickup my girl – I can relate 🙂

My excitement level for these cookies is probably inappropriately high – but nutella swirl cookies! And oatmeal ones at that…. Oh my…
