Nutella Pinwheel Cookies

Saw this idea originally from A Busy Nest and I had to try it for myself. Nutella has long been an addiction of mine and this looked too good to pass up.

Ingredients

113g butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups of flour

1 teaspoon of baking powder

Pinch of salt

½ cup of nutella

¼-1/2 of hazelnuts(roasted, skin removed and finley chopped)

Directions

+ Cream butter and sugar

+ Add vanilla and egg

+ add sifted flour, baking powder and salt till dough forms.

+ on a piece of baking paper roll out the dough in a rectangle and cut off excess. (When I made it, the dough was really soft at this point so I put it in the fridge for 5-10mins and it made the next part easier).

+ Spread nutella with a palette knife evenly and sprinkle on nutella.

+ Roll as tight as possible with the baking paper and insure that remains a smooth round shape and doesn’t go square.

+ refrigerate for 2 hours or longer

+Cut with knife into half inch slices and place on tray in a moderate over for around 6 minutes. (To keep the pinwheels from getting a flat bottom roll the dough after each cut.)
