Every afternoon B1 comes home from Prep, we have afternoon tea and we share how his and our day went. Its one my favourite times of the day. Usually I serve up rice crackers and cheese. Sometimes is biscuits and milk but I stumbled on a beautiful mess whilst doing my daily blog stalk and she reminded me of the ever old faithful Nutella (something I had decided to purposely forgot about after consuming more than mine and the state of Qld’s fair share). She makes this delicious little morsels from scratch, cookie included but I think that you could use a plain Arnotts biscuit of any description.
Here’s the recipe from scratch (it makes 10-12)
Ingredients: 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon (aluminum-free) baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and plenty of Nutella.
Cream together the butter and sugars, stir in egg and vanilla. Now mix in flour, baking powder and salt until just combined. The batter should be crumbly and you will probably need to use your (clean) hands to combine it a bit more to form a dough ball. Cover in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Now form into small round disks, about 2-3 inches in diameter and uniformly thick. You want your cookies to all sort of match each other in size because you will be placing one of top of another to form sandwich cookies. Bake at 350 F for 15-18 minutes, allow to cool completely on a cooling rack before adding filling. Once cool, spoon a couple of tablespoons of Nutella on one cookie and place another on top. Devour, and don’t apologize
I’ll let you know how mine go
