Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 pieces large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Nutella
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 24 pieces chocolate-hazelnut kisses or your favorite chocolate candy
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until well combined.
Mix in the Nutella, scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
Roll each dough ball in the extra granulated sugar to coat completely, then place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and slightly cracked on top.
While the cookies bake, unwrap the chocolate-hazelnut kisses or candies so they are ready to use.
As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie will crack slightly, which is normal.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. The chocolate will set as the cookies cool.
Serve and enjoy your Nutella Blossoms!
