    These super-easy, fast-baking cookies come together in less than 15 minutes.  

    Culinary tips:

    • Keep mixer on low.  Over-mixing these cookies will make them chewy.
    • Using a cold egg is okay in this recipe, because the stand mixer will quickly bring it to room temperature!
    • No leavening agent required.  The chocolate hazelnut spread and flour combined with one egg come together in the oven in 10 minutes.

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread.
