This is from . I made a variation of this with walnuts instead of hazelnuts and didn't roll in nuts just the confecioners sugar. They turned out great but I did find I had to bake them about 15 minutes to get the middle done and to crackle on top. I didn't count my cookies so maybe I made them too big. I think you could make them with any nuts you have on hand, the Nutella flavour is still there. UPDATE. In the picture I made them with hazelnuts but I didn't notice any difference in taste than when I made them with walnuts. Walnuts I get free and hazelnuts are so expensive to buy. Ingredients:
3 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 (11 ounce) jar nutella |
1/4 cup shortening |
1 1/3 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/3 cup milk |
1/2 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts |
2 cups finely chopped hazelnuts |
sifted icing sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375*F Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
2. Beat Nutella and shortening in a large bowl until combined.
3. Add sugar and mix until combined, beat in eggs and vanilla.
4. Add flour and milk alternately and mix until just combined.
5. Stir in 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts.
6. Cover and chill several hours until firm.
7. Shape into walnut-sized balls.
8. Roll in finely chopped hazelnuts, then in confectioners sugar.
9. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes-surface should be cracked and cookies set.
10. Makes about 70.
