I don't know about you, but I love a good sandwich, especially when the sandwich is the sweet kind, and involves Nutella! As in, these Nutella Sandwich Cookies I made a few months back.
Take two dark chocolate crispy oat cookies and smear a little Nutella between the two, with a dusting of sea salt and you've got yourself one heck of a good sandwich. Am I right?
Last summer Feast Magazine asked if I would like to choose a recipe to write about from a recent cooking class for parents and children at the Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis, where they presented a booklet of recipes for livening up school lunches with more inventive options. Of course I went after the cookies 
These cookies are the perfect balance of chocolate and Nutella all wrapped up in a chewy cookie. It's impossible to just have one.
I will warn you – I’m not responsible for increased pants size if you are watching calories nor can I be held accountable for feeding a Nutella obsession. But do as I say, make a batch – I promise you won't regret it!
Oh I suppose you’d like the recipe, right? They’re super simple to make and even better to eat. Nutella fans are going to love them and don’t worry about being “too sweet”, a nice little sprinkle of salt on top balances out the flavors beautifully .
