Nutella Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

So I hope everyone has access to Nutella because it is by far the most delicious creation ever.  These cookies are ridiculously good and I would highly recommend everyone try these.  They are the idyllic combination of chocolate and peanut butter that makes your taste buds dance!  These are most definitely a crowd pleaser!  


                                     

I made these cookies to send to my aunt who was kind enough to put my boyfriend and I up in a hotel and treat us to wonderful dinners and spa treatments over the weekend so we could snowboard in Tahoe!  We had a great weekend and we hope she likes these cookies!
