Delicious Cookies That Could Possibly Kill You

For my first September post, I thought I'd share a recipe I recently created out of thin air with ingredients I had in my pantry and fridge. I just really wanted to do something with my Nutella that didn't involve a spoon and guilt. Thus, my Nutella and Cream Cheese Cookies were invented. They're amazing, but amazingly bad for you. I'll just post the recipe here and see how many complaints I get about how it's all my fault you need new pants.

Ingredients:
1 cup Nutella
4 oz cream cheese
4 cups flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 sticks butter, melted
dash of salt

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine Nutella, cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, and butter. In another large bowl, combine everything else. Slowly blend the second (dry) mixture into the first (gooey) mixture. Form dough into rounds and bake at 325 to 350, depending on your oven, for 6 to 8 minutes. I'd start low; these cookies are better gooey than crispy. You can easily remove them from the cookie tray immediately, which is recommended. Serve with lots of milk and enjoy!
