I don’t know about you, but I can eat Nutella by the spoonful. It is just one of those things that is delicious anyway you eat it. The buttery crust with Nutella is a winning combination. Sprinkle a little bit of sea salt or pink salt on top, makes it even better in my eyes. These bar cookies are perfect for any occasion. I made them and took them to visit my family, everyone loved them. I know you will too.

Happy Baking ????

Tips & Recommendations

I used the small jar of Nutella. Nutella will get easier to spread as it melts on the dough.
