Nutella Kiss Cookies posted by Staff Writer Pin Share Tweet Email Jump to Recipe I think I’ve mentioned before that Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies are probably my favorite cookies. They’re delicious, of course. But to me, they’ll always be my mom’s cookies. And that, of course, is what really makes them so special. Sometimes I wonder what food my kids will associate with me and their childhood. I rarely make the exact same dessert twice, if I’m being honest. Will they just remember a vague, rotating plethora of sugar and chocolate? And then I think: Nutella. That’s what they’ll remember about my kitchen. Lots and lots of Nutella. So maybe these cookies can be some sort of a tribute to their maternal baking lineage– a combination of both me and my mother in a cookie. They should be. Because these cookies say “awesome-amazing-fantastic.” And that pretty much sums us up too 😉 Continue to Content Nutella Kiss Cookies Print Ingredients 1/2 c. shortening (not butter or margarine) 1/2 c. Nutella* 1/2 c. granulated sugar 1/2 c. brown sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/8 tsp. baking soda 1 egg 2 tbsp. milk 1 tsp vanilla 1 3/4 c. all purpose flour 1/4 c. granulated sugar for rolling 36 Hershey Kisses, unwrapped Instructions In a large mixing bowl, beat shortening and nutella.

Bake at 350º until edges are set. Press kisses into the center of each cookie as soon as they are removed from the oven. Let cook on wire rack. Makes approx. 3 doz cookies.
In this recipe, the shortening is necessary. All the sugar in the Nutella makes these cookies want to go flat, and the shortening helps keep them fluffy! Reply
I made these. They are pretty good, but actual cookie part is a little bland and flavorless. Next time i’ll try 3/4 cup nutella and 1 1/2 cup flour to cancel a bit of the floury taste Reply
Just tried these tonight and they are so rich and chocolatey! Wonderful! The only change I made was increasing the Nutella to 3/4 cup and reduced the flour to 1 1/2 cups. Will be on the holiday cookie list! Thank you! Reply
