Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies

I saw this recipe for Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies at Lovin' from the Oven and I knew I had to try them because I love both Nutella and chocolate! These turned out really great, the Nutella flavor really stands out in these cookies and is the main flavor. Then, it is filled with chocolate chips and you can add chopped hazelnuts for crunch if you would like (the original recipe calls for them, but I am not a fan so I didn't add them), and you get a small hint of cinnamon flavor in the background which blends perfectly with the flavor of the cookie. These were moist and chewy and slightly crunchy on the edges and perfectly delicious!
