How to Make Gianduia Sandwich Cookies Chocolate Hazelnut

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup (113g) Nutella and 1 large egg. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup (125g) self-rising cake flour, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to prevent sticking.
  4. Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently knead for a few seconds until just combined. The dough will remain slightly sticky.
  5. Roll the dough into 18 equal-sized balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter). Flour your hands as needed.
  6. Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving several inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  9. Once slightly cooled, carefully slice each cookie in half horizontally using a sharp serrated knife.
  10. Spread 1 teaspoon of Nutella on the flat side of one half of each cookie.
  11. Top with the other half, pressing gently to form a sandwich.
  12. Let the cookies cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
  13. Pro Tip: For cleaner cuts, try this technique: Turn the cookie on its side and carefully score the entire outside edge while rotating it like a wheel, then gently cut the rest of the way through the middle.
