• ¾ cup + 2¼ tablespoons butter (room temperature)

  (200 grams total)
• 1 large egg (room temperature)
• ½ cup Nutella/Jam/ Chocolate cream/Pastry cream

Instructions

  lightly floured flat surface and knead gently to form a compact dough ball. Wrap
  the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• 3 Line 1-2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• 4 Remove the dough from the fridge. Roll the dough on a lightly floured flat
  surface to a 1/8" thickness, make 20 cut outs with a medium round cookie cutter
  (2½ inch).
• 5 Fill half the circle with a teaspoon or so of your favorite filling, fold over
  the clean half and seal the edges well with your wet fingers and then again with
  the tongs of a fork.
• 6 Place the cookies on the prepared cookie sheet. Refrigerate while the oven is
  pre-heating to 350F (180C) for about 15-20 minutes. Bake for approximately 13-15
  minutes or golden. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for approximately 5
  minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely. When cooled dust with
  powdered/icing sugar before serving. Enjoy!
