I enjoy trying new recipes and always have willing taste testers in my house. After sampling these sugar-dusted goodies, my family's response was unanimousâan enthusiastic thumbs-up! Ingredients:
1 jar (13 ounces) nutella |
1/4 cup shortening |
1-1/3 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup 2% milk |
2-1/2 cups chopped hazelnuts, toasted, divided |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the Nutella, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, mixing well after each addition. Fold in 1/2 cup hazelnuts. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
2. Finely chop the remaining hazelnuts. Place hazelnuts and confectioners' sugar in separate shallow bowls. Roll dough into 1-in. balls; roll in hazelnuts, then sugar.
3. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until set and surface is cracked. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 7 dozen.
