Folded Hazelnut Cookies image

We first made these cookies when my boys were small, and they would always end up covered in flour and with Nutella on their faces. Such good memories! -Paula Marchesi, Lenhartsville, Pennsylvania

Time 40m

Yield about 2 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon finely chopped hazelnuts
1 tablespoon sugar
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup cold butter, cubed
2 tablespoons Nutella
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, mix hazelnuts and sugar. In a large bowl, whisk flour, confectioners' sugar and cornstarch. Cut in butter until crumbly. Transfer to a clean work surface. Knead gently until mixture forms a smooth dough, about 2 minutes (dough will be crumbly but will come together)., Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1/4 teaspoon Nutella in center. Fold dough partially in half, just enough to cover filling., Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Brush with beaten egg; sprinkle with hazelnut mixture. Bake 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
