Sandi's Nutella Walnut Cookies


Nutella Walnut Cookies

2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 sticks softened butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup Nutella
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts

Mix dry ingredients and set aside.  Beat butter and sugars until light and creamy.  Add whole egg, yolk, vanilla and Nutella.  Mix until well incorporated.  Gradually add dry ingredients.  Stir in walnuts.

Drop 1 tablespoon dough onto ungreased cookie sheets or parchment paper.  Bake 325 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes until tops appear dry and slightly cracked.  Be careful not to over bake.  Cookies should be soft as they are removed from the cookie sheet.  Cool on wire racks.
