Nutella Butter Cookies

The melt-in-the-mouth butter cookies I baked recently was very well received. My hands got 'itchy' over the weekend and since I want to finish up the bottle of my favourite NUTELLA, I decided to make another batch of butter cookies but this time, added with nutella! 

I've made the original cookie batter as my neighbor has requested for some and used half of the cookie batter for the nutella butter cookies. I only added the nutella later but it is better to mix in the nutella when creaming the butter and sugar as detailed in the recipe below.

The cookies are really yummy but I should have added in more nutella!

I'll definitely be baking more of these for the coming festive seasons!
