The Nutella people need to listen up real good here:  the world needs Nutella Baking Chips!  Hello?  Are you listening Nutella People?  We need baking chips and we need them bad.  It’s not easy to add Nutella to cookies when it’s of a peanut butter consistency.  How hard can chip- making be?  Do it!  I’ll show you how I made my own…

Since the Nutella People are clearly behind the times, if you just take spoonfuls, drop them on a baking sheet, and then freeze them- BOOM- you have temporarily hardened Nutella that you can use for baking.  In this case I used those frozen spoonfuls to place in between two layers of banana- oat cookie dough and then sprinkled a few mini chips on top.  It’s not that tough- you just have to plan a little bit ahead and freeze some of the Nutella.

Then they bake up wonderfully. Cookie dough surrounds and encloses the Nutella while baking.  And when you bite into the cookie, you get banana flavor and a Nutella surprise.  Yay!
