These Hazelnut Sandwich Cookies with Nutella Filling are a Nutella lover’s dream!<\/h2>\n

Can you believe Christmas is only one month away?<\/p>\n

I get to spend it with my Canadian family in Calgary this year. Which means a) watching Die Hard on the 24th, b) getting way too tipsy way too quickly thanks to the lethal combination of my in-law’s aged eggnog and my German mulled wine, c) watching my husband dedicate hours to putting together a cheese board, which then no one dares to touch because it’s too pretty.<\/p>\n

Plus there’ll be snow because Canada usually delivers on that.<\/p>\n

It’s amazing how every family has their own little Christmas rituals. One thing I bring with me wherever I celebrate Christmas is a big old tin full of German Christmas cookies. These hazelnut cookies are definitely in this year’s collection.<\/p>\n

This recipe is another traditional German Christmas cookie I just needed to share with you. I adapted it slightly by swapping German Nougat for Nutella as you can’t buy the German hazelnut paste in Canada.<\/p>\n

These hazelnut cookies with Nutella filling are perfect for your Christmas cookie platter. And hey, they are also perfect for those Nutella-straight-from-the-jar kind of days.<\/p>\n

How to make Hazelnut Sandwich Cookies with Nutella Filling:<\/h3>\n

German Christmas baking has a reputation for being complicated but these are really simple to make!<\/p>\n

The recipe for these hazelnut cookies could not be easier! We start by creaming butter and sugar, then add an egg followed by the dry ingredients. Done.<\/p>\n

Make sure to chill the cookie dough for about 2 hours or overnight. If you store it in the fridge for longer, make sure to take it out of the fridge about 10 minutes before rolling it out.<\/p>\n

Now on to the filling! “I put too much Nutella on that”, said no one ever! So we’re definitely not skimping on the filling.<\/p>\n

You can use Nutella or any other chocolate hazelnut spread. If you’re in Canada, I would recommend the smooth PC chocolate hazelnut spread, which is not expensive, yet really good. Another great alternative is\u00a0this Italian stuff<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n
