And with the Christmas festivities around...its time to fill up cookie jars to enjoy the winter chills with a hot cuppa Coffee and crumbly cookies and cakes !
I love the taste and flavour of Nutella , but I choose not to dilute the delicate flavour with chocolate or coffee....Not that it does not tase good...but I love to devour every bit of the delicate hazelnut flavour that nutella offers...
Using nutella as it is was a challenge,considering the runny nature of the spread....
So I dropped spoonfulls of nutella over a foil and put them in deep freeze for about 30 mins..
And used them to stuff my cookies......
So heres a Nutella Surprise ...... soft cookies with mushy nutella center!
1 Cup Maida / All purpose flour
3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Cup Butter
1 Egg
1/2 Cup Nutella
Drop spoonful of nutella on a foil and freeze it for 30 mins or till they solidify.
 |
| My frozen nutella drops! |
Sieve maida with baking powder and mix it with sugar.
Add melted butter and rub them with finger tips with flour.
Add lightly beaten egg and mix till you get a thick semi solid dough. Add milk if the batter or dough is too solid.
 |
| The cookie dough...just the correct consistency! |
Grease palms with oil and flatten the batter on the palms. Take out one nutella drop at a time from the freezer and place over the dough and seal it with the remaining dough.
 |
| Stuffing nutella into the dough...a delicate task! |
Place stuffed dough over a greased baking tray.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 deg C for 15 to 20 mins , until the cookie crust just browns.
It should be light brown. Do not overbake the cookies . They are slightly soft. Overbaking might burn the stuffed nutella.
 |
| Umm,cant wait to grab a bite...best to dunk in coffee! |
Cool a bit and serve.
These cookies can also be stored in airtight jar for a week or so,...thats only if you and your family resists these tempting goodies!
