These pretty cookies are a marriage of the buttery, crispy lace cookie and a creamy Nutella filling. What sounds better than that? We are huge Nutella fans in my house, but if for some reason you are not a fan, you can just make these yummy lace cookies. They are delicious on their own. Enjoy this cookie recipe and more at www.pharm-to-table.net.

Crispy, buttery and chocolatey. These are sinful!

Some cookie porn for you!

Using a 3" cookie cutter as a guide for my cookies.

The Nutella is a great addition to the cookies, but honestly the lace cookie is good on its own.

Don't be skimpy with the filling and like a good pbj spread the filling to the edges.

Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 stick butter
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg white
  • Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange racks to the upper and lower third of your oven.
In a large bowl combine the flour, oats, salt and vanilla. Set aside.
Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and sugar. Stir the mixture until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture has thickened, about 4-6 minutes (will look like lemon curd). Add to the flour mixture.
Allow the mixture to cool completely before adding the egg white. Mix well.
Using a small ice cream scoop or rounded tablespoon, drop batter onto your two baking sheets, spacing the cookies 3 1/2” apart. You should get 14 cookies. Using an offset spatula spread the batter into a 3” circle (see tip above).
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through cooking. Allow the cookies to harden and cool slightly on the baking sheet, then VERY carefully remove them to a cooling rack.
Once cool you can spread about a tablespoon, or more if you like, on half of the cookies, then top with another cookie. Enjoy!
Tips
  • Chocolate ganache, peanut butter, jam, frosting, even Fluff can be used as the filling for these sandwich cookies.
  • I would try to make a smaller version next time. They are a very generous size cookie and smaller would be cute and more than enough.
  • You can bake the cookies and freeze them without filling them. Carefully layer the cookies with parchment in a container to store in freezer. Thaw cookies, then spread Nutella on them.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for 4 days.
  • Be very gentle when handling the cookies. They are fragile.
  • If you have a 3” cookie cutter, dip it in flour and use it as a stencil to mark the parchment paper. This will help guide you when you spread out the cookie batter.
