Nutella Cookies

These are my favorite cookies,they melt in your mouth. If you love Nutella like me, then you should try to make these cookies and you will not be disappointed at all.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup plus 1 cup powdered sugar to roll the cookies
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread, at room temperature (recommended: Nutella)
• 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts

Directions

1. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners. Set aside.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add Nutella and then add in the vanilla. With the machine running, gradually add the flour until incorporated. Add the hazelnuts and mix until combined. 
3. Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop 12 balls of dough onto each baking sheet. Bake until the bottoms of the cookies flatten out slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
4. Place 1 cup of powdered sugar in a medium bowl. In batches, roll the cookies in the sugar until coated. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
