Delicious Nutella-Filled Sugar Cookies
These sugar cookies feature a soft exterior with a gooey Nutella center, providing a perfect balance of sweetness and richness. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and bake, yielding approximately 24 cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Nutella for filling
- Additional granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Form Cookies: Scoop out a tablespoon of dough, flatten it in your palm, and place about 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center. Fold the dough around the Nutella to form a ball. Roll the ball in granulated sugar and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
