This recipe came from Taste of Home  and I just had to share. These amazing little cookies are delicate and buttery on the outside and rich and creamy on the inside. They’re a great new addition to the standard Christmas cookie tray.

On a side note, my friends, family, and I have a huge love for Nutella… Let me show you the ways:

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped hazelnuts

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons Nutella
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk flour, confectioners’ sugar and cornstarch.
  4. Cut in butter until crumbly.
  5. Transfer to a clean work surface.
  6. Knead gently until mixture forms a smooth dough, about 2 minutes (dough will be crumbly but will come together).

  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-in. round cookie cutter.

  10. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
  11. Brush with beaten egg; sprinkle with hazelnut mixture.
  12. Bake 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are light brown.
  13. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
