Christmas Cookies With Nutella
Preparation: 30 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 250 g butter, room temperature
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 2 tbs vanilla sugar
- 1 free-range egg
- 1 free-range egg yolk
- 430 g plain flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 2 tbs cocoa powder
Filling:
120 g Nutella
Directions:
Step 1
Place the butter, sugar and vanilla sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the egg and yolk to the bowl. Mix the ingredients with an electric mixer until you get a foamy mixture. Add flour with baking powder and knead a smooth dough by hand.
Step 2
Divide the dough into two equal parts, then shape each part into a ball. Wrap one dough into cling wrap and set aside. Add the cocoa powder to the remaining dough and mix by hand until the cocoa powder is combined and the colour is uniform. Wrap the second dough in cling wrap and place both doughs in the refrigerator for an hour to cool.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
Step 4
Sprinkle a little flour on the working surface. Roll out the light dough to a thickness of about 3 millimetres. Cut out the cookies with a flower-shaped mold with a hole in the middle. Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, roll out the dark dough to a thickness of about 3 millimetres. Cut the cookies with a flower-shaped mold the same size as the first one. This mold does not have a hole in the middle. Arrange the cookies on the baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool to room temperature.
Step 6
Place ½ teaspoon of Nutella on the brown cookie and spread evenly. Place the white cookie on top, in a line with the flower petals and gently press to adhere.
Tips:
- Bake the Christmas cookies with Nutella at least 3 days before so that they soften
- Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days
