Sometimes when I post a recipe here, it can be something that I’ve been planning for a long time. Buying the specific ingredients, figuring out a time of when I can bake and take photos, thinking up ideas for the photos. I’ve been known to tease Trevor with recipe ideas for weeks on end.
The word of the day is almonds.
And cupcakes.
Sweet almond cupcakes. Doesn’t that name just roll off your tongue?
After baking the muffins, I knew I had to use up the rest of the Nutella. Between the span of making the muffins and making these cookies, I had found myself wandering to the kitchen on numerous occasions and ending with a spoonful of Nutella in my mouth.
Show of hands, I’m not the only person who does this, right?
Point being, this had to stop. And I’m glad that it did, otherwise these cookies wouldn’t be in my life.
Let me tell you a story…..about the first time I had Nutella.
It was around this time last year.
I was at Costco picking up groceries. There was a woman doing the food-sample-thing that Costco is famous for. She was cutting bread slices into quarters and using a sharp knife to spread Nutella, thickly, on each piece.
(No, that’s a lie – I can’ remember the type of knife she was using. I just exaggerated that part for effect.)
Yes, you read that correctly. Skor shortbread squares. That must mean only one thing.
