I had some leftover Nutella from my last batch of Nutella Sea Salt Cookies that I couldn’t let go to waste. Instead of making more of the same, my boyfriend suggested making “sandwiches”- cookies as the bread and Nutella as the filling. This brainchild of his sugar-addicted mind was pure genius. I think the picture speaks for itself.
