Crispy No Bake Nutella Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

3 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Special K or Rice Krispies)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped

Directions

Clear a space on your counter and line it with waxed paper or 1 or 2 silicone mats. This is where you will drop your crispy no bake Nutella cookies to set up.

Place the cereal in a medium-sized mixing bowl and set it aside.

In a small saucepan set over low heat or in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl placed in the microwave and heated on full power for 20 to 30 second increments, melt the chocolate and hazelnut spread.  Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the cereal and stir until the cereal is well coated with chocolate.

Drop mixture by tablespoonfuls onto the waxed paper/silicone mats.  Flatten each mound into rounds with the back of a wet wooden spoon.  Sprinkle the tops of each cookie with hazelnuts, pressing them down gently so they adhere to the cookies. Cool until set.

Makes about 2 dozen Crispy No Bake Nutella Cookies.

Variations

• For an even easier cookie, Instead of sprinkling the hazelnuts on top, stir them in with the cereal.


• For Rocky Road Nutella Cookies, after you stir in the cereal, let the mixture cool a bit and then stir 1 cup of mini marshmallows into the mixture before dropping onto the waxed paper/silicone mats.

Instructions to Make Peanut Butter Cookies at Home

Who doesn't like to munch those crunchy, yummy cookies? Cookies are my favorite snack. And Peanut butter cookies are my hot favorite. Actually I was very much interested in cooking right from my childhood, but I never had the real motivation to try out any recipe on my own. But now, I don't just bake my favorite cookies but many other interesting recipes like burritos, fajitas, pizzas and much more. Thanks to the cook books that my wife bought recently. Here is a quick recipe of peanut butter cookies for you

• Flour - 2 cups( all purpose )


• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon salt


• Baking soda - 2 teaspoons


• Oats - 1 cup


• Sugar - 1 cup


• Brown sugar - 1 cup


• Shortening - 1 cup


• Eggs - 2 or 3


• Peanut butter - 1 cup

First thing is to pre heated your oven to 350°F (175°C).Then you need to mix the flour, salt, baking soda together. And then mix the shortening, brown sugar and normal sugar. Then you need to add the flour mix to the creamed sugar mixture and mix them thoroughly. By the way you can use butter instead of the shortening, but shortening is good for getting the cookies baked in the shape you want and it won't get brown fast. Then you have to add the eggs and beat them well. Add peanut butter and oats and mix them well till you form a dough. Then you need to shape them as you want and place them on the cookie sheets. And bake them for about 10 - 11 minutes. That's it. Your cookie must be ready.

But interestingly, when I checked out the cook books I discovered that it contains large number of secret recipes of many famous restaurants like Pizza Hut, Red Lobster and Outback Steakhouse etc. And, the recipes are very well explained even up to the minute details, and also they have provided brief notes about where that recipe originated and things like that. Also, the ingredients of these secret recipes are easily available in our nearby grocery store. Now my wife says that we need not go to any restaurant and waste our hard earned money anymore. Isn't that good?
