Foodie Goodie | Nutella Cake in a Jar.

Oh, the many things you can do with Nutella! You can spread it on wheat bread, make brownies with it, use it as frosting, use it as a doughnut filling... heck, you can even lick it straight from the spoon! The possibilities are endless!

Today, let me share with you this super simple recipe that requires only two ingredients and takes about a minute and a half in the microwave. Yes, it's quite simple to make and tastes great even via microwave! :)

Nutella Cake in a Jar

Ingredients:

1 box yellow cake mix, prepared according to package directions

1 teaspoon Vanilla, Butter, & Nut Flavoring (optional)

Lots of Nutella

3 pint-sized canning jars

Procedure:

1. Thoroughly wash and dry the inside of each canning jar. Spray the inside of each jar thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

2. Stir the Vanilla Butter and Nut Flavoring into the cake mix. Spoon about 1 cup of cake batter into each jar.

3. Cook one jar at a time in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through.

4. Allow jars to cool slightly, then scoop the top half of cake from the jar.

5. Spoon a tablespoon or so of Nutella into the center of the jar, replace the top half of the cake back in the jar then top the warm cake with another layer of Nutella.

6. Serve immediately or cover with a lid and store in the fridge. Cakes should stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Foodie Goodie | Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies.

It's World Nutella Day!
Yes, the Italian hazelnut-chocolate spread that we all know and love (because I don't know of a soul who does not like this sweet treat) has a special day marked in its honor. How awesome is that?!

To celebrate, I'm sharing with you one of our (my son's and mine) favorite snacks - chocolate chip cookies stuffed with Nutella. :)

Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup Nutella

Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a stand or electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, continue to beat until well combined.
3. Combine flour and baking soda in a bowl, then add slowly to wet ingredients along with the chocolate chips.
4. Scoop a large spoonful of dough and flatten it into the palm of your hand.
5. Add in some Nutella into the middle, about 1-2 tsp. Then fold cookie dough back up so that it seals and covers the Nutella entirely.
6. Bake for about 10-14 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
7. Remove and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
