Layered Christmas joy
Tender shortbread sandwich cookies filled with creamy Nutella® are great for any special occasion! Furthermore, they are one of the easiest and most versatile cookies to bake. Feeling creative? Play around and decorate them with some extra Nutella®!
INGREDIENTS for 20 portion
170g flour
55g granulated sugar
100g soft butter
a pinch of salt
¾ teaspoon (1.5g) gingerbread spice mix
100g Nutella®
METHOD
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together, except for the Nutella®, and knead for 1-2 minutes until the dough becomes pliable.
Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper until a thickness of around 4 mm.
Cut out the dough using a cookie cutter or any other small shape you can create by yourself on a cardboard sheet and use it as a stencil.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and position the baking rack in the middle of the oven.
Transfer the biscuits onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 10-11 minutes, remove from the oven and let them cool down on the tray.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle (about 2 mm) with the Nutella®, pipe 5g of Nutella® on half of the biscuits and assemble with the other half.
Eventually, decorate your sandwiches with Nutella®.
