- Nutella: 1 cup
- Yogurt: 1/4 cup (60 ml)
- Refined Flour: 1 cup
- Mixing the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the Nutella and yogurt. Use a balloon whisk to mix these until smooth and well-blended. Gradually add the refined flour, spoon by spoon, continuing to whisk to avoid forming lumps.
- Kneading and Chilling: Once the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, knead it gently to ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover the dough with a lid and refrigerate for 20 minutes. This chilling step is essential for the dough to firm up, making it easier to handle in the next steps.
- Forming the Cookies: After chilling, take the dough out and roll it into a long, snake-like shape on a lightly floured surface. Cut this into small discs. Flatten each disc slightly with your hands and use a fork to press a design into the top of each cookie to give them a unique appearance.
- Baking: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the shaped cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until you see the edges start to turn golden.
- Cooling: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before handling. This allows the cookies to firm up and achieve the perfect texture.

Yogurt Substitute: If you don’t have yogurt, you can use an equal amount of sour cream or a thick dairy-free yogurt alternative to maintain the moisture and texture.
Flour Adjustment: Depending on the humidity and altitude of your location, you might need to adjust the amount of flour slightly. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour until it reaches a manageable consistency.
Decorating for Kids: If serving to children, consider adding a layer of white chocolate paste on top of the cooled cookies and sprinkle with colorful candy balls for a fun and festive look.
Storage: These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
