Shortbread Nutella Sandwich Cookies Recipes

Yum

November 12, 2019 By Nicole Nared-Washington Leave a Comment

Light, buttery, and sweetened Shortbread Cookies brought together with a chocolatey layer of Nutella make for a perfect Shortbread Nutella Sandwich Cookie. 


We are right on the precipice of the cookie baking season. Oh, how I look forward to the cookie exchanges and the endless Christmas holiday parties that I am already getting invited to. With the jump from Halloween straight to Christmas (Thanksgiving gets no love) I am totally in holiday baking mode and experimenting on different treats that I can share with all of you! I am getting started with sharing this Shortbread Nutella Sandwich Cookies recipe. I also believe these cookies are called “Yo-Yo’s” due to the look of the cookie. 

Can you believe that I am just now appreciating the amazing chocolate hazelnut spread that we all love called Nutella? For the longest time, I didn’t like the spread. I thought it was too sweet and it tasted like the chocolate was made from a non-natural source like powdered chocolate milk. Yeah, I was pretty hard on Nutella for a while there. Now, I am in love with the spread! I use chocolate hazelnut spread for all types of recipes like these Pumpkin Nutella Brownies recipe. Now, I’m using them as a filling to an awesome shortbread cookie marriage. 

There are all types of cookies on my blog that is perfect for the holidays. Heck, you’ve got to try my recipe for the Best Christmas Cookies as they are truly amazing! I also have an awesome recipe for Snickerdoodle Cookies and Peppermint Meringue Cookie. No matter the cookie recipe on my site you decide to try, consider trying this Shortbread Nutella Sandwich Cookies recipe.

What I love about this recipe is that the cookie itself isn’t very sweet, which is perfect for my taste buds as of late. I have noticed that I am very sensitive to treats that are too sweet. Yep, my tastebuds are wimping out on me. In any case, this cookie is perfect! I guess it makes sense as the chocolate hazelnut spread is pretty sweet itself. This Shortbread Nutella Sandwich Cookie recipe is a great holiday cookie option as it is pretty simple to make and perfectly balanced with sweetness, crispness, and a slightly soft interior.

Place cookies onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Place the cookies about an inch and a half and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool and place them on a baking rack.
