Nutella Pinwheel Cookies

  • 25

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 heaped cup sifted flour
  • 1/4 cup Nutella
  • 2-3 tablespoon, toasted, chopped hazelnuts

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 175C/350F.
Mix the butter and sugar together till creamy.
Mix in the egg yolk and the vanilla essence. The mixture should be light and well combined.
Stir in the flour and refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes so that it can firm up and facilitate easy rolling.
Next, roll out the dough into a rectangle of ¼ inch thickness.
Spread the Nutella making sure to leave one finger space on all four sides. Again, we don’t want the Nutella to ooze out!
Sprinkle over the chopped hazelnuts and roll up the dough.
Refrigerate for another ten minutes before cutting the slices.
Lay the slices on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes till slightly golden at the edges. Baking time will vary depending on how thick you’ve cut them. Color is a good indication.
