Cookies are always something I go to when I need a quick treat. Chocolate Hazelnut Caramel Cookies are chewy and full of flavor! So excited about today guys! I have been waiting for some time to tell you about my trip I am taking next week! I am headed to Italy and Bulgaria! My in-laws are in Italy and I am going to visit with them for about a week before I go to Bulgaria with our church on a mission trip! I am definitely looking forward to spending some time with the family in Italy and spending time with the children at the orphanage we are visiting in Bulgaria.
While I am Italy I am going to force myself to get over jet lag as quick as possible so I can explore downtown and visit some gelatarias and pizzerias! Basically I will be stuffing my self full of the good stuff in Italy. Pizza and ice cream!
When I was thinking about telling you about my trip I thought it would be fun not just to tell you but to GIVEAWAY something as well. Nocciolata USA has graciously offered to give one lucky person a prize package of their organic chocolate hazelnut spread with cocoa & milk. Since they sent me one as well so I could check it out, I decided to bake some cookies!
These cookies are super easy! I just followed my basic cookie recipe added in the hazelnut spread and caramels. Easy as that! ENJOY! Don’t forget to ENTER BELOW!

I like to eat it on toasted homemade bread.

Definitely just with a spoon! But on toasted bread with strawberries would be delish, too!

Best cookie ever!! Caramel and Hazelnut combined is a force to be reckoned with!

My favorite way to eat that is just dip some pretzels into it.

I really like hazelnut. And of course, it’s best when paired with chocolate. These cookies sound amazing!

These cookies look and sound delicious! I would love to win the Nocciolata package prize so I can try it. We don’t have a Meijers here, wish we did, can you get it at Walmart? When I lived in Indiana for two years I loved to shop at Meijers store, liked it better than Walmart. Thanks for the giveaway!

I forgot to say I haven’t ate Hazelnut spread since I was a kid. I use to like it on toast, I know I’m weird! lol!
