Calories 231kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter - softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons Nutella
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 2 egg whites
- 1 cup hazelnuts finely chopped
Filling:
- ½ cup Nutella
Instructions
- Combine the butter and sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Beat until creamy.
- Mix in the egg yolks, Nutella, and vanilla.
- Slowly whisk in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt - mixing until well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour but up to 2 days.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
- Add the egg whites to a small bowl and whisk with a fork for 1 minute.
- Place the chopped nuts in another small bowl.
- Use a cookie scoop to form 1-inch balls of cookie dough. Roll between your hands to smooth.
- Dip the portioned cookie dough in the whisked egg white and then in the chopped nuts to coat. Place them on the prepared baking sheet 1” apart.
- Press your thumb or the back of a measuring spoon into the center of the cookie dough to form an indentation.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Portion the Nutella into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften.
- Fill each cookie indentation with the softened Nutella.
- Allow to set before serving.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days.
- Do not skip chilling the dough. The dough needs to be cool to hold its shape.
