Heart shaped cookies
About this Recipe
Nutella hearts cookies are delicious shortbread biscuits covered with Nutella. They are very easy to make and perfect for any occasion, if you don’t like Nutella you can replace it with Marmalade. Generally I like to give these cookies to my children’s teachers for Christmas and I have also added them to the Christmas sweets baking lesson. The recipe is taken from the Giallo Zafferano blog.

- 350 grams flour
- 100 grams icing sugar
- 200 grams soft butter

- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Icing sugar to sprinkle
- Heart shape cookies cutter one big and one smaller or star or whatever shape you like

Method
- In a bowl mix the butter and the sugar until it’s nice and smooth {I like to use my hands, it’s easy}.
- Add the yellow eggs and mix for a minute, add the vanilla and the flour.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Turn the oven on at 350, roll out your dough and with a heart cookie cutter, and cut the cookies. With the smaller cookies cutter, cut out the heart.
- Put the cookies on a baking sheet with parchment paper, and bake for 12-15 minutes!
- When they are cold, spread the Nutella on the bigger heart and put the small heart on top.
- Sprinkle some icing sugar and a lot of love.
