Well, first of all, sorry for the poor quality of the photo and the (more than usual) lousy presentation of the cookies -_-U
I meant to give away some of the cookies to friends (and to boyfriend) and to store the very few that were left in a cookie box but, unfortunately, my parents found them and ate them before I had time to take a more decent picture of them T_T
Indeed, this picture was taken with my mobile phone after I packed the cookies that I were going to be given away and before I remembered to store the leftovers. Well, I suppose that's good because it means that they liked them (but I liked them too and I wished I had some more T_T).
This is another recipe (yes, again) from the book Chocolate Galore (in Spanish is Chocolate a gogó). The original recipe from the book calls for 2 teaspoons of nutella, but I used 1 tablespoon in order to get more flavour. And I changed again the amount of sugar that the recipe states, using 50g instead of 75g. Also, I don't know if it's because I used more nutella thant I was told to, but I had to increase the temperature of the oven and the baking time: the original recipe says that 160º degrees Celsius and 10-12 minutes are enough, but I needed 180ºC and 15 minutes to get my cookies done.
So, the recipe is as follows:
Ingredients:
175g butter (at room temperature)
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
50g confectioners sugar
1 tablespoon nutella
225g all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
Method:

1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
50g confectioners sugar
1 tablespoon nutella
225g all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180ºC.
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined. Then add the flour and work the mixture until you have an elastic dough.
- Divide the dough into two parts and add to one of the parts the cocoa powder and the nutella. Mix until well combined.
- Extend, with a rolling pin, each dough in a floured surface until you get two rectangles, about 15x20 cm each. If the doughs are not hard enough let them rest in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
- Put the nutella dough on the plain dough and press lightly. Trim the edges and fold it, just like a swiss roll.
- Let the roll rest in the fridge for half an hour. Then cut it in slices of about 6cm each and put them well separated in the baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until they sighly brown.
- Take the cookies out from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes in the tray before transfering them to a wire rack. You can keep them for a week in an air-tight container.
They look really lovely :)
