Step 1:
- In a bowl, add 245 g of flour. Sift in 13 g of powdered sugar, 3 g of baking soda, and 2 g of baking powder. Mix the dry ingredients well.
- Next, add 35 g of vegetable oil and 135 g of Greek yogurt. Gently mix with a spatula until the ingredients are slightly incorporated, then knead by hand until you get a smooth dough.
Step 2: Resting the Dough
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in a cool place for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Rolling Out the Dough
- After the 10-minute rest, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about half a centimeter thick. Use a cup or an 8 cm round cutter to cut the dough into circles. Gather the dough scraps, form a ball, wrap it again in plastic, and let it rest for 20 minutes before rolling and cutting again.
Step 4: Filling the Cookies
- Place a teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each dough circle. Close the dough carefully by pressing the edges, ensuring the Nutella stays inside and doesn’t leak during baking.
Step 5: Freezing and Baking
- Place the filled cookies in the freezer for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Once the cookies are chilled, bake them for 7-8 minutes.
Note
Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to three days at room temperature. For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies in a sealed container for up to two months.
Substitutions: You can swap Nutella with any chocolate hazelnut spread, peanut butter, or even jam for a fruity twist.
Additional Flavors: Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the dough for extra flavour.
