Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup Nutella

Instructions

  1. Cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide the dough in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  8. Using a star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out star shapes from the dough.
  9. For each cookie, place about 1/2 teaspoon of Nutella on the flat side of one star.
  10. Top with another star and gently press the edges together to seal.
  11. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
  12. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Once cooled, you can dust them with powdered sugar for a festive touch.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the best cookie texture.
  • Chill the dough sufficiently to make it easier to handle and cut shapes.
  • Be careful not to overfill the cookies with Nutella to prevent leakage during baking.
  • Adjust baking time as needed based on your oven.
