Nutella Oatmeal Cookies

I bought a large jar of Nutella last week. I haven't had it in years so I thought I could incorporate it into some new baking experiments. The Mins found the jackpot of Nutella recipes at Kirbie's Cravings. It was hard to choose a recipe to start off with but since we had lots of oatmeal on hand, this one seemed like a logical choice. And the result was delish!


Nutella Oatmeal Cookies
1/2 cup Nutella
1 extra large egg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup quick oats

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat mat. Add all ingredients into a large bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until everything is thoroughly mixed. Make small round balls, about 1 1/2 inch in diameter. You should have enough to form 10 cookies.


Place dough balls on baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet until they are set and firm.

New PJs

The Quatchis just returned from an extended visit at my parents' place. They had a good time reading with my mum and watching TV with my dad. My mum sent them home with matching pajama pants. Aren't they the best? She sewed them herself!

The Quatchis love their new PJs so much that they spent the whole weekend in them. Here's a snapshot from this afternoon - Q and the Mins reading old cartoons and snacking on M&Ms!
