Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 280 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Dulce de leche
- 120 grams Nutella
- 30 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, and mix until just combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Use the back of a spoon or your thumb to gently press an indentation into the center of each dough ball.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The indentations may puff up slightly during baking, so gently press them down again with the back of a spoon immediately after removing them from the oven.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are cooled, fill half of the indentations with dulce de leche and the other half with Nutella. Use a small spoon, piping bag, or zip-top bag with the corner snipped for precision.
Optional: Lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
