Nutella Sugar Cookies
These soft and chewy Nutella Sugar Cookies are sure to be a favorite! Filled with hazelnut spread and rolled in sugar, this is the perfect treat!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar + ½ cup for rolling
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2¼ cups flour
- Nutella or any flavor of hazelnut spread
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla and mix until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift the dry ingredients and mix with a whisk or fork. With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Put the Nutella in a piping bag with a large round tip.
- Take a 1-inch ball of cookie dough and flatten it out. Using your finger, form the dough into a small cup with a big enough center to add the hazelnut spread. Pipe the Nutella into the center, but leave enough room on top to fold the cookie dough over the Nutella. (see picture above for clarification)
- Gently roll into a ball and then roll in sugar.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes. Let cool slightly, and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
