Calabrisella Mia

Here’s what you need:

Ingredients:
300 grams flour
100 grams sugar
100 grams butter
2 eggs
1 vial (2ml) vanilla extract

For the filling and topping:
Nutella
Icing sugar

Here’s what you do:

Sift the flour into a bowl, then add the sugar and softened butter. Combine until the mixture comes together – it will be crumbly.

Now add the eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extra, and mix until you form a well-combined dough. Shape the dough into a rectangular shape and wrap it in some kitchen plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for a minimum of 30 minutes in the fridge.

Once the pastry dough is ready, it’s time to roll it out to a height of half a centimeter.

Choose the cookie cutter shape you’d like to use and begin cutting out the shapes. In the center of half of the cut-outs, cut out a smaller hole. (I used a heart-shaped cookie set that comes in different sizes)

Place the cut-out biscuits on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 180 degrees for about 7 – 10 minutes or until they are slightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let them cool.

Once they have cooled, they are ready for assembly. Line the cookies with the hole onto a tray and give them a sprinkling of icing sugar. Now spread Nutella on one whole biscuit and then sandwich it with a second biscuit that has the hole in it.

…and voila!
