Oatella Cookies

                                                             Oatella Cookies

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1 cup vegetable shortening

1 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 large eggs

13 oz. jar Nutella

2 cups rolled oats


1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the salt, cinnamon and baking soda. In mixing bowl, beat the shortening with both sugars at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the side of the bowl. Add the Nutella and beat until smooth. Reduce the speed to low, and beat in the dry ingredients until just incorporated, then beat in the oats.

3. Scoop 1-tablespoon mounds of dough 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned and the cookies are just set. Shift the pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through baking. Immediately transfer the cookies from the pan to racks to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough. Makes 5 dozen cookies.
