If Santa Claus was invented by Coca-Cola, I was fortunate enough to receive a visit before Christmas from a little elf from Ferrero. In my package, a 200 g jar of Nutella, 4 small Nutellini jars which I literally fell for (given the degree of cuteness, who wouldn't?), and a biscuit stamp "made with love". I theoretically had a 950 g jar (!!!) in the shape of a snowman but it arrived broken (as much as my little heart when I found out, I must confess!). This package was sent to me by Ferrero to launch their "Holidays" collection. I dragged my feet a bit because the package arrived when I was on vacation, but I'm proposing to you the recipe that came with the package: little Nutella shortbread cookies!
Actually, this recipe came at the perfect time because it's super simple and I'm quite busy on weekends (on a top secret project that you'll soon know about #CrazyTeasing). So good little recipes that comfort quickly, that fits perfectly with my timing and my desires.
As a very pleasant surprise, even though it's "just" a shortbread recipe, I found it amazing. Usually I find that it's nothing special but these ones are really very good (and not just because of the thick layer of Nutella!).
Plus, it's the kind of recipe you can make with children and it's great for a nice family Sunday afternoon. And the cookie cutter provided is super practical (more practical, moreover, than the one lurking at the bottom of my cupboard!). You can still find the 200 g jars with Christmas patterns and the big 950 g jar in supermarkets (I don't know how long the collection lasts but I still saw them on the shelves last week).
As for the preparation, it's super simple. Mix all the ingredients to get a dough (basically it's a classic shortbread recipe) and put it in the fridge for a good half hour. Then roll it out (very thinly, it's better!) and with a glass cut out biscuits with a diameter slightly larger than that of the stamp. Put a little flour on top and stamp the little biscuits.
To finish, go! Into the oven for 15 minutes, let cool a little and spread with a generous layer of Nutella. Close with another biscuit and bite into these little Nutella shortbread cookies before the box is empty!
