Nutella Thumbprint Cookies

Buttery, soft, and filled with gooey Nutella—these melt-in-your-mouth cookies are impossible to resist!

Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 12 mins | Total Time: 27 mins
Makes: 18-20 cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
½ cup (60g) almond flour (or substitute with more all-purpose flour)
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
½ cup Nutella (for filling)
Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the Dough

In a bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until creamy.
Mix in egg yolk and vanilla.
Gently fold in flour, almond flour, and salt until just combined (don’t overmix).

3. Shape the Cookies

Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet.
Use your thumb or a teaspoon to press a well into the center of each.

4. Fill with Nutella

Spoon ½ tsp Nutella into each indentation (or pipe for neatness).

5. Bake & Cool

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
Let cool 5 minutes on the tray, then transfer to a rack.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Tips for Perfection:

✔ Soft dough? Chill for 15 mins before baking for cleaner edges.
✔ Extra crunch? Add 1 tbsp crushed hazelnuts to the dough.
✔ Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
