So I bake. Like a lot. Maybe more than I cook. Probably way too much, for the normal person that is.
There are a lot of us in this house (but you already know this). We like our chocolate (again, I am sure you have figured this out by now).
Creaming butter, whipping cream, melting chocolate those are all second nature to me. I could do them in my sleep. So to say that I am excited for all the holiday treats (cookies, cakes, cupcakes, tarts, sweat breads, and truffles) that I have yet to make is an understatement! See I have been writing my “to bake this Christmas list” since October. I know…this is embarrassing and I should not be telling you this.
So yeah, I have my Christmas treats planned from now until Christmas. Yes, I am crazy. And yes, probably a little OCD as well. But honestly what is better than Christmas cookies. You can NEVER have too many! I mean come on, I can not be the only one with people dropping in for an overnight (errr, more like week) stay? I have to be prepared!
First up this season? Lace Cookies. But of course not just any old lace cookies. Nutella Stuffed Oatmeal Lace Cookies. I had never made lace cookies before yesterday and I have no idea why! They have a really nice mix of crunchy and creamy. I know that sounds odd, but it is the best way to describe them. Other than insanely addicting!
Crunchy, creamy, buttery, and chocolatey! These cookies are soo goood! Yes, I know, I say this all the time. I really mean it though. I mean let’s be real, there is Nutella in the middle. How could anything stuffed with Nutella not be crazy good?

Oh, did I mention my family calls me Mrs. Claus? I am starting to understand why now.
Made these for friends for the holiday cookie tins. These were SUPER EASY to make and were delicious. Those that we gifted them too gave them rave reviews as well.
Hey Megan,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am thrilled that it worked out for you! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Hi! I just made these and they are absolutely delicious. The only difference I noticed is that the cookies pictures do not appear to have rolled oats visible. Did you grind the oats prior to adding to the batter? Thanks so much for the tasty recipe.
Hey Amanda,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I used whole oats in my cookies. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Can these cookies be frozen once the chocolate has been added or will it make them soggy?
Hey Bev,
I would recommend freezing these without the chocolate. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Hello, can I substitute the all purpose flour for a gluten free alternative? Maybe almond flour or cornstarch?
Thanks!
Hey Gabriella,

I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
These tasted delicious but did not spread vey much and therefore remained chewy. Not sure what could have happened?
Hey Anne,
So sorry you had issues with the batter not spreading. Was there anything you adjusted? You can try adding 1 tablespoon of cream to the batter to help thin it out. I hope this helps for next time! Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Hi! Just a quick question about measurements – is this for 16 cookie sandwiches or 16 cookies in total (and 8 sandwiches)?
Thanks!
Hey there,
This recipe will make 16 cookies sandwiches. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions. Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Just followed the recipe to the letter and they did not spread at all they’re just really buttery dough balls out of the oven. Is there anything I can do to rescue them? What do you think is causing them not to spread – should I add more of a certain ingredient? So sad because I’m an avid HBH baker, normally your recipes are a huge hit with me and I was really excited about these cookies for Christmas cookie boxes this year.
Hey Emily,
So sorry you had issues with the cookie. Next time try adding 1 tablespoon of cream to the batter, this will help the cookies spread. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other question. Happy Holidays! xTieghan
Mine didn’t spread nearly as much as yours which was somewhat disappointing:(. They still taste good but are missing that it factor.
Hi Nicole! I am sorry about that.. Please let me know if there is anything I can help with? xTieghan
I love your recipes! I have made several and have never been disappointed. Thank you!
Thank you so much Jacqueline!! xTieghan
