Believe it or not folks, I've never had Nutella... I know, right??? Well, I found one of those little stocking stuffer size jars after Christmas and picked it up for 24¢. Turns out, it's pretty good stuff:@) I used it to make some Nutella Filled Spritz Sandwich Cookies. While that itty jar only made about seven cookies, it was enough for us to try a few with Sunday dinner, and we all declared this a winner!
I chose the heart disc for Valentine's Day,
and used the tie dyed technique HERE with white, pink and red dough:@)
Nutella Filled Spritz Sandwich Cookies
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
dash salt
Nutella for the centers
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar.
- Add egg and vanilla, mix well.
- Add flour, baking powder and salt, mix well.
- If using tie dye technique divide dough as described here.
- Fill a cookie press with dough and press out shapes onto a cool, non-greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375 degrees for about 9-11 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
- Cool cookies on rack, spread flat side (bottom) of one with Nutella, top with second cookie.
Enjoy a cookie and have a happy day:@)
