I think I have never told you before that I love Bon Jovi. I’ve been following this band for years, and in fact I know all the lyrics from Slippery When Wet and New Jersey by heart. You could even say that I learnt to speak English with them. I must also confess that what I like most about Bon Jovi, is Jon Bon Jovi himself. I liked him with long hair, with shorter hair, and even now with his new grey look. Now that I think of it, it must be true that love is blind, because I even like him as an actor. So inspired by one of his famous songs “I wanna lay you down in nutella roses” today I want to share this recipe with you.
When I posted early last year my piped butter cookies stuffed with chocolate, I already suggested you using frozen nutella to fill the cookies insted of plain chocolate. So this is what this recipe is about. I have to tell you, Jon, nutella roses are great but they leave crumbs on the bed so I am not sure this is going to work between us.

Hola !
I made these the other day and they were delicious, although they were a pain to pipe. Did you encounter any difficulties when piping them? I found the dough a bit dry (I added some milk) and it wouldn’t “stick together, it was like a big pile. The outcome wasn’t as pretty as yours but the taste was perfect. Do you have any tips/suggestion for next time?
