Decorated shortbread cutouts with Nutella^®

METHOD

1. 

   STEP 1

   In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together, except for the Nutella^® hazelnut spread, for 1—2 minutes until the dough becomes workable.

2. 

   STEP 2

   Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper until it reaches a thickness of around 1/8th of an inch. 

3. 

   STEP 3

   Cut out the dough using a cookie cutter or a stencil.

   Tip: You can create your own stencil by creating and cutting out the design you want on a piece of cardboard.

   Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

4. 

   STEP 4

   Preheat the oven to 325°F and position the baking rack in the middle of the oven.

   Transfer the cookies 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 1/16th of an inch) with the Nutella^® hazelnut spread and pipe 1/2 tbsp of Nutella^® hazelnut spread on half of the cookies and assemble with the other half.

   Finish all of your cutout cookies with Nutella^® hazelnut spread.
