ROZ PURCELL’S "NUTELLA LIKE COOKIES!"
Like most people I love cookies! When trying to eat clean and whole foods, I think it’s important to make healthy treats every now and again to enjoy the ‘sweet’ things in life. People always ask me for recipes for healthy treats and snacks to enjoy on the weekends or to squash any crazing sugar cravings! These are perfect!
The combination of hazelnuts and chocolate has always been my favourite, from Nutella to Ferraro Roche, it’s something I just can’t resist!
I hope you enjoy my Nutella like Cookies. These are paleo, gluten free and dairy free!
