Flourless Almond Nutella Cookies (only 4 ingredients!)

6 Comments

I have been trying a ton of different flourless recipes for desserts and I must say, these cookies are one of my favorites.  I actually combined a few recipes that I had tried and modified my own version.  I decided to add Nutella because what would the world be without Nutella?  Also, in honor of Michele Ferrero, owner and creator of Nutella who died on Valentine’s Day.

Gluten-free Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

As some of you know, I recently went gluten-free due to a thyroid condition and I must say, it has been helping my energy level. I am less tired and feel like I have more energy. I had a Memorial Day picnic to go to and made these babies and they went faster than the regular cookies I made!  The raw cookie dough was amazing; I couldn’t help myself taste as I was mixing all the ingredients together!
