I am to believe that a simple smear of Nutella makes anything better and this recipe is a living proof of that! This is nothing more than two simple sugar cookies with some Nutella in between. With a pink glaze and a bit of flare, these are the easiest and prettiest cookies you can possibly make.

White Chocolate and Macadamia Brookies

You are going to love these brookie bars. Brownies and cookies combined!! What’s not to love about that?! They’re super gooey and decadent and I promise you won’t be able to eat just one!

Lets say this is a coffee shot that you would be able to take anytime of the day!!
