Nutella Butter Cookies are soft butter cookies topped with a dollop of Nutella. These simple thumbprint cookies are easy to make whenever you need a small batch cookie recipe!
Add butter, sugar, egg, salt and vanilla in a bowl. Use a electric hand mixer and mix until smooth. Add flour, a little at a time, and continue mixing until a cookie dough forms.
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the cookie sheets about 2 inches apart and use a spoon to press gently into each cookie. Use the top of the spoon to press a small well into the center of each cookie.
Drop 1 teaspoon of nutella into each well of the cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges of cookies turn golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Notes
Only want 1 dozen of cookies? Just half the recipe.
