Nutella
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup Nutella
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups AP flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
~ 1/4 cup heavy cream
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease baking sheet (or line with parchment / silicon mat) and set aside.
Beat together the butter, Nutella and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well incorporated.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing on low speed, until the dough begins to come together. If the dough seems dry and crumbly, add a
small amount of heavy cream until the dough comes together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes out of the dough and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes. Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. If desired, frost with royal icing, or spread Nutella between two cookies to make a Nutella Sandwich.

INGREDIENTS:
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup orange sprinkles, or orange sugar
1 (9-ounce) package of chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped (recommended: Hershey’s)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another medium bowl, place the chocolate hazelnut spread, butter, and both sugars. Using a hand mixer, cream the ingredients together, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and blend until incorporated. Stir in the dry ingredients, just until incorporated.
Shape the cookie dough into walnut-sized balls. Rolls the balls in the orange sprinkles or orange sugar, pressing to adhere. Place the cookies on a heavy cookie sheet about 4 inches apart. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven. Quickly place a chocolate kiss in the middle of each cookie. Return the cookies to the oven and bake for another 3 minutes. Cool the cookies on a wire rack.
