Ingredients

  • ¾ pound unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ½ cups flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Nutella as needed

Instructions

  • Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and mix on high until combined. Add in the vanilla, mix to incorporate.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour and salt. Slowly add this mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just to incorporate or until the dough forms.
  • Shape the dough into a disk, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and shape into equal-sized spheres, arranging them on a sheet pan about 3 inches apart.
  • Bake at 350°F for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and work quickly while they are still soft to make a small indentation in the center of each with a spoon. Fill each hole with Nutella, then let the cookies come to room temperature.
