Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
For the Filling:
- ¾ cup Nutella (chocolate-hazelnut spread)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing just until the dough comes together.
- Chill the Dough: Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll and Cut the Cookies: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter (about 2 inches in diameter) to cut out circles and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
- Assemble the Sandwich Cookies: Once the cookies are fully cooled, spread about 1 teaspoon of Nutella on the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve these Nutella Sandwich Cookies immediately, or store them in an airtight container for later.
Enjoy the rich, buttery flavor of these Nutella Sandwich Cookies, a perfect indulgence for any sweet craving!
