I've mentioned that I was a deprived child, right? I never had a single Barbie doll. I wasn't allowed to play with Play-Doh. The nearest Taco Bell was an 8-hour drive (upside: Taco John's FTW!). And in what is possibly the cruelest joke of all time, I didn't know what Nutella was until . . . um . . . aw, hell. I didn't find out about it until well after college.

Thank you for your sympathy. It is appreciated.

Since the magical discovery of Nutella, I've been trying to make up for lost time. Let's just say if you find a sticky spoon stuck inside the couch cushions, it wasn't me. Nope.

And then a friend introduced me to a brand new Nutella to mouth delivery method. It's spectacular.

Nutella No Bake Cookies.

I win.

The topic of Nutella No Bake Cookies came up on twitter the other day and when it did, I realized I didn't have the recipe. That situation has since been remedied. Since I'm feeling nice, I thought I would share it.

Amy's Nutella No Bake Cookies

1 3/4 cup white sugar

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup butter

4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup Nutella

3 cups quick cooking oats

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine sugar, milk, butter and cocoa powder in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat and add Nutella, oats and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool until hardened.

Makes about 3 dozen cookies. That's enough to last about 14 seconds at my house.
