What’s better than cookies and Nutella?

When I was a child I used to take a few shortbread cookies, cover them with a good, thick layer of Nutella and eat them as an afternoon snacks while I was making my homework. I must admit I have kept doing this until a few years ago, when people started looking at me like I was some kind of totally crazy woman…so I decided to incorporate Nutella into my cookies!

I brought these cookies to my company family day last weekend and everyone loved them! Give this a try and let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup white sugar (150 g)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar (165 g)
• 2  cups flour  ( 220 g)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 or 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup Nutella

In a bowl of your electric mixer combine the sugars and butter. Beat at slow speed until creamy

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredient to the butter/egg mixture together with 2 tbsp of vegetable oil and mix until combined. Do not over-mix the batter at this stage

Now drop a few tsp of Nutella into the batter

 

and gently scoop it out onto your baking tray lined with parchment paper

Bake at 180 C for about 12 min. Let the cookies cool down on a wire rack before storing them into an air-tight container
