Instructions
Nutella Peppermint Thumbprints
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cream butter and powdered sugar until combined, add vanilla.
In a separate bowl combine flour and salt.
Add flour mixture to creamed butter and mix until combined.
Roll 1 inch balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
Gently make a thumbprint in the middle of each cookie.
Bake for 12 minutes.
Once you remove the cookies from the oven, take the handle side of a small spoon and gently indent the cookies where your thumbprint was.
Cool completely.
Nutella Peppermint Filling
In a small pan combine Nutella, butter and corn syrup.
Melt everything together for about 3 minutes until everything is combined, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Remove from heat.
Using a small spoon, fill each cookie with Nutella sauce.
Let cool for a minute then sprinkle with candy cane crumbs.
