    This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of my partnership with Nutella®. All opinions are mine.

    Sugar Cookies with Nutella® Hazelnut Spread: Spreading Nutella® on to this sugar cookie recipe is an easy and delicious treat that your family will LOVE!

    Sugar Cookies with Nutella® Hazelnut Spread

    It never fails. During one of our family get-togethers during the holidays, someone asks,

    “Jessica, can you bring a dessert?”

    Well this year, I’m volunteering to bring a dessert to our family gatherings, because I can’t WAIT to have them all try these Sugar Cookies with Nutella® hazelnut spread.

    I’m excited about these for a couple of reasons. One, they’re crazy good. Two, my nephew is allergic to peanut butter (but not to hazelnuts!) and I try very carefully to think of desserts and dishes that won’t put him at risk if he walks up to the dessert table.

    He LOVES Nutella® hazelnut chocolate spread, so I can’t wait to include one of his favorites in this recipe!
    Not only do I think he’ll love these, but the rest of the family will too!

    The BEST Sugar Cookie Recipe

    First, start out with my ever so favorite sugar cookie recipe, to make the base of this recipe. It’s a favorite of mine because it doesn’t have to be chilled, and the flavorful ingredients make this cookie the PERFECT base for this recipe.

    Pro Tip: I love using big-white, art paper, to roll my sugar cookies out. It keeps my counter “cleaner,” and I can just roll it up and throw it in the trash when I’m done rolling them out.

    Sprinkle a little flour on the paper, that way the cookie dough doesn’t stick!

    Spread Nutella® on Top

    Nutella® hazelnut spread has become a household favorite, and we love spreading it on to new things for fun creations, or to make a dessert centered around Nutella, like this No Bake Nutella Cheesecake!

    A Little Bit Goes a Long Way

    Once the cookies are baked and have cooled, it’s time to spread the Nutella® on. Keep in mind that a little bit of Nutella® goes a long way. The flavor of the Nutella® on top of the sugar cookies is heavenly. I’ll have a hard time making sugar cookies any other way from now on. I mean, how much easier can this get?

    Fruit, Nuts, and Pretzels

    How cute and fun do these cookies look, topped with strawberries, walnuts and pretzels? Not only cute but the flavor of the toppings combined with the Nutella® is INCREDIBLE. You can top your cookies with fruit, nuts, and pretzels… or with Nutella® alone. Either way, they’re going to be a crowd pleaser at your holiday gathering.
