Nutella Linzer Cookies

Print Recipe

Delightful Nutella Linzer Cookies are a beautiful twist on the classic treat, featuring a buttery cookie dough filled with rich Nutella and dusted with powdered sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup ground almonds (or almond flour)
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and ground almonds. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together.
  3. Chill the Dough: Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. For half of the cookies, use a smaller cutter to cut out a hole in the center.
  5. Bake the Cookies: Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake them for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Cool the Cookies: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Fill the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous tablespoon of Nutella on the solid cookie halves. Top with the cookie halves that have a center cut-out.
  8. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Finally, dust the top cookies with powdered sugar for a pretty finish.

Notes

Serve these cookies at parties or pack them in lunchboxes for a delightful treat. They store well in an airtight container for up to a week.
