Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread, such as Nutella, at room temperature
Directions
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners. Set aside.
In an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and 1/4 cup of the sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. With the machine running, gradually add the flour until incorporated. Beat in the chocolate-hazelnut spread.
Roll the dough into 36 (1 1/2-inch) balls and place 12 balls of dough onto each baking sheet. Bake until the bottoms of the cookies flatten out slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Place the remaining 1 cup powdered sugar in a medium bowl. In batches, roll the cookies in the sugar until coated. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

I agree I was excited to make these and I think they are just ok. A little dry and lacking some richness....wished it was more chocolately and hazel nutty. I think the texture of these is similar to a russian tea cake.

After reading the first review, I modified the recipe: I added 1/4 tsp. salt and 1 TB of cocoa powder. Then the dough seemed dry, so as any good Italian cook would do, I added 1 TB of Amaretto! They still seem somewhat bland, next time I am going to add some mini choc. chips.

I was so excited to try these after watching the Holiday Kitchen take over, but was disappointed. The cookies are just okay. Nothing special and not a lot of flavor. This recipe is a miss, unfortunately.
