An easy, vanilla sugar cookie dough is topped with sinful Nutella to make these Nutella thumbprint cookies. A twist on your classic holiday thumbprint cookie that is sure to please!
– ½ cup Butter Room Temp– ¾ cup Sugar– 2 Eggs– 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract– 2 cups All Purpose Flour– ¼ teaspoon Salt– ½ cup Nutella Plus more if needed
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter and sugar and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Press your thumb into the center of the cookie to make a well. Repeat this process for the rest of the dough. Bake for 12 minutes or until the cookies are just slightly golden brown.
While the cookies cool, microwave the Nutella in a microwave safe bowl for 15 seconds and then pour it into a gallon Ziploc bag. Cut off the end of the Ziploc bag and pipe the Nutella into the center of the cookie.
