Nutella Chocolate Chip Spent Grain Cookies

First inspired to use Spent Grains in cookies with the success of Choco-Chip Spent Grain Pumpkin Cookies, I quickly moved onto Peanut Butter Spent Grain Cookies. But these, my friends...these are the end all, be all of Spent Grain cookies and I don't know if another Pumpkin or Peanut Butter cookie will find it's place in our 'cookie jar.' Nutella is just too magical. And chocolate chips are always a plus.

Ingredients/Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit (177 Celsius) Combine 2 sticks butter, 1 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cups white sugar until fluffy. Add 3/4 - 1 cup Nutella depending on flavor preference, 2 eggs and 1 tsp. vanilla and beat until combined. Add 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp baking powder. Stir in 3 cups of Spent Grains (drained of moisture to the best of your ability). If the dough is too wet and sticky at this point (because generally spent grains hold a bit of moisture) add some flour and mix until you acquire a dough that can hold it's shape and isn't too wet, I usually add an additional 1-2 cups of flour. Next stir in at least 1 cup of chocolate chips and plop dough onto a greased cookie sheet and bake 12-15 minutes until golden brown and beautiful. This always makes a huge batch of dough, so it's also nice to simply freeze pre-made balls of dough so you can enjoy warm, chocolaty cookies any night of the week.
