Instructions
Preparation
Accurately measure all ingredients and prepare the necessary equipment.
Hazelnut Spread
Pipe equal portions of hazelnut spread onto a baking sheet and freeze.
Cookie Dough
Cream sugars, butter, salt, and vanilla together, add the egg, then mix in the flour and baking soda. Chill the dough.
Dough Shaping
Divide dough into equal balls, roll them out into circles.
Stuffing Cookies
Place a scoop of frozen Nutella in the middle of each dough circle, close it like a bundle, and place on a baking sheet.
Baking and Enjoying
Bake the cookies and enjoy them.
Hint: For perfectly rounded cookies, freeze the piped Nutella portions until solid before enclosing them in the cookie dough. This will help maintain a distinct Nutella center without spreading or mixing into the dough during baking.
Substitutions
For those following specific dietary requirements, consider the following adaptations:
- Vegan: Substitute butter with vegan margarine and use a flax egg (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) instead of a regular egg. Use a vegan-friendly hazelnut spread.
Variations
You can adapt this recipe to suit your tastes or cultural cuisine:
- Try different spreads: While this recipe calls for Nutella, consider other spreads such as almond or peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
- Add-ins: Consider adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips to the cookie dough for extra texture.
