Salted Coconut Nutella Cookies

WARNING: Placing these sumptuous cookies into a bag may give people the wrong impression. They may just assume that it is for them and its lunch! Or at least my husband did! No worries, I got a note: Cookies are delicious. Taking to work. Might even share one with a coworker…then again, probably not. Thank you for lunch.

These delicious hazelnut cookies will blow you away. The sea salt on the top is just the beginning of a wonderful experience. Inside you will find cinnamon and coconut. Let’s talk cinnamon. Did you know that only 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower your bad cholesterol? Or that cinnamon has been found to be an effective natural remedy for eliminating headaches and migraine relief? Or that cinnamon helps stabilize the blood sugar (which is great for weight loss!) That’s right, cinnamon is another great super food for you!
