Description

These Nutella Stuffed Halloween Cookies are delightful pumpkin-shaped shortbread sandwiches filled with gooey Nutella and coated in a cinnamon-sugar topping. Perfectly buttery and sweet, these festive treats are easy to prepare and bake, making them an ideal choice for Halloween celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Shortbread:

  • 110 g salted butter, softened
  • 60 g granulated sugar
  • 165 g plain flour

For the Topping:

  • About 10 g melted butter
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

For the Filling:

  • 1 tsp Nutella per cookie

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the plain flour until a soft dough forms.
  2. Chill and shape: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into pumpkin shapes using a cookie cutter.
  3. Add the filling: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of Nutella onto half of the pumpkin-shaped cookies. Place another cookie on top of each Nutella-spread cookie and gently press the edges to seal the filling inside.
  4. Coat in cinnamon sugar: Brush each cookie lightly with melted butter, then dip or sprinkle them with the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly to give a sweet and spiced topping.
  5. Bake to perfection: Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan / 340°F). Arrange the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 8 to 9 minutes, or until the edges turn just golden brown.
  6. Cool and enjoy: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly. Enjoy them warm to experience the perfectly gooey Nutella center.

Notes

  • You can substitute plain flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent Nutella from leaking during baking.
  • Use a gentle brush when applying melted butter to avoid breaking the cookies.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if making larger or smaller cookies.
