I Couldn't Even Take a Picture Before They Were Gone!

For Karen's birthday bonfire celebration I decided to make Nutella Sandwich Cookies. Everyone I know loves Nutella and these cookies were really yummy! I didn't get a chance to take a picture before the bonfire, which turned out to be a big mistake because they were all gone before I could snap a picture! So, I have the recipe and I will just have to make them again soon....I don't think anyone will mind =)

Mine turned out pretty similar to the original recipe so to see a picture visit Living Eventfully.
