Chocolate Hazelnut Crack Ups

By Stef -


I really liked these- they get a 7.5. So as I read through this recipe, my pancreas died for a few seconds when I saw that I needed to add 3/4 C. of sugar in addition to 3/4 C. Nutella. Nutella already has 21 grams of sugar in 2 TBS., which is close to the maximum amount of sugar that any adult should have in an entire day. As such, I left out the sugar entirely and thought they were perfectly sweet. Also, it says it yields 2 dozen, but I was only able to get 14 cookies out of one batch.

I also read in the comments of this recipe that they were too sticky to handle, so I added 2 TBS flour. Next time I will also add some vanilla. Otherwise, these were really good and easy and I'll definitely make them again. These would be good with vanilla ice cream since they have a fudgy brownie-like texture. The recipe came from food52.com.

Serves 2 dozen 1-inch sized cookies


  • 3/4cup Nutella or other brand chocolate hazelnut spread (look for one with a fat content similar to the peanut butter, around 11 grams per 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/4cup smooth peanut butter
  • 3/4cup granulated sugar I left this out
  • 1teaspoon baking soda
  • 1egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1tablespoon cocoa powder2 TBS. flour
  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. 
  2. Mix all the ingredients together until just combined. 
  3. Roll the dough into 1/2-inch thick balls (feel free to vary the size). Place balls one inch apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake 8 minutes. Let cool on the parchment for one minute and then transfer to a wire rack. Eat while they’re still warm and gooey, or cool completely (or both).

Crepes

This is a classic that John’s Dad taught him to make after serving a mission in Paris. If you have the right toppings, these can be a 9. If your toppings suck, don't blame me. John has tweaked it a bit, and I like it with a bit more almond than he does, but here is the basic recipe: Crepes 6 eggs 1 1/2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups milk 1 1/2 T. vanilla 1 T. sugar 1/4 cup oil 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. almond extract John likes to mix it with a hand blender, but I prefer doing it in the BlendTec. You put this on about a 7 or 8 on the stove (medium-medium/high heat), and then use 1/3 cup to put it on a crepe pan as you swirl it cover the pan with the other hand.
