Ingredients
- 1 cup Nutella or any hazelnut spread 250g
- 2.5 tablespoons melted butter 30g - optional
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 130g
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- pinch of salt optional but recommended
- 1/4 cup Nutella for decoration(60g)
Instructions
-
In a bowl, mix the egg and Nutella (or hazelnut spread) for about a minute using a hand mixer. Add a pinch of salt.
-
Then, add the flour and the (optional) melted butter, and knead everything briefly until it forms a homogeneous dough.
-
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 10 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (345 degrees Fahrenheit).
-
Divide the dough into 15-20 portions and shape them into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, slightly flatten them, and use the handle of a wooden spoon or your finger to create small, deep wells in the center of each cookie.
-
Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes; they should still be soft when you take them out.
-
After they've cooled, put some Nutella (or hazelnut spread) into a mini piping bag or a small freezer bag with the tip cut off, and pipe a bit of Nutella into each well.
