Servings 6 dozen cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cup Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
  • ¼ cup finely chopped hazelnuts optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla; mix until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Add flour mixture to butter mixture in two additions, mixing until just combined after each addition.
  • Split dough in half. Roll half the dough into a 14" x 9" rectangle. Spread half the Nutella over the cookie dough. Sprinkle with half the nuts. Roll the dough up, starting with the long side, to create a cookie log. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Wrap cookie dough log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with Sil-Pat or parchment paper.
  • Remove cookie dough log from fridge. Cut off excess dough at edge, and then slice into 1/4" slices. Place slices on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges just begin to brown. Remove from oven. Cool on baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
