Nutella Stuffed Cookies

These cookies could have been called "Anti Jinx Cookies" or "I Love You". They are not everyday cookies, Nutella is not very cheap in these neighborhoods (yes, I know, in my country in general) .
But "occasionally" is something else.





I wanted to gift someone whose having bad luck lately, and I remembered this recipe and modified it a little bit. You can do it as that recipe, and fill it with chilled Nutella, as I did, with tiny pieces of chocolate. Or thinking other options, put chopped roasted hazelnuts inside (or almonds), make thumbprint cookies, filled with Nutella, alfajores, etcetera.

They are really good, and if they work as they taste, we are saved!
