nutella espresso chocolate chip cookies

i think it's pretty clear that i love to bake with nutella. not only is it delicious, but i swear it has magical powers. every time i bake with it, my cookies come out of the oven perfectly. and trust me, that is a big deal for me ;). as much i love to cook and bake, cookies have a mind of their own. baking cookies can be such a finnicky, scientific process, but nutella seems to bypass all the laws of nature and give me perfectly round, cracked, soft cookies every time. no kidding. why don't you see for yourself...
