Here's

the

recipe:

Izzy's Speculaas Nutella Cookies

1/2 c. Speculaas spread

1/2 c. softened butter

1/2 c. sugar

1/2 c. brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/4 c. flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 c. Nutella

375 degree oven

In a mixer (or with a mixer, if you like the hand kind better) combine Speculaas

and butter until well combined and pale in color

Beat in sugars, egg and vanilla.  Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and soda and mix into Speculaas batter until just combined.

Swirl Nutella into dough.

Form into walnut sized balls and criss cross with the tines of a fork

Bake about 12 minutes until a teeny bit brown around edges.
Cool on a baking rack (if you can…  …)

This would be an amazing Christmas Cookie !!
