With a creamy chocolate and hazelnut filling, these decadent Christmas cookies look and taste amazing. Guests will never guess how relatively easy they are to make. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 egg |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
additional confectioners' sugar |
1/2 cup nutella |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Divide dough in thirds. Shape each into a ball, then flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with floured 2-1/2-in. holiday-shaped cookie cutters. Using floured 1-in. shaped cookie cutters, cut out the centers of half of the cookies.
3. Place solid and cutout cookies 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining portions of dough. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
4. Sprinkle cutout cookies with additional confectioners' sugar. Spread 1 teaspoon Nutella on the bottom of each solid cookie; place cookies with cutout centers over filling. Yield: 2 dozen.
