Nutella, useful for more than just toast and crepes.

I recently found a number of recipes that had Nutella as a major ingredient, and, feeling brave, I tackled two of them. The first is the above cocoa Nutella cookies. They were crispy like gingerbread cookies, which was unexpected, but still, very yummy. The Nutella flavor was very subtle, too.

The second recipe I tried was banana Nutella bread. It was dense and heavy and rich and unbelievably delicious. I shared it with friends and they all loved it.
