Delicious gingerbread cookies filled with Nutella and decorated with festive sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup molasses
- 1 cup Nutella (for filling)
- Red and green sprinkles (for decorating)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough by whisking together dry ingredients in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, cream softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until fluffy. Add egg, molasses, and vanilla; mix well.
- Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into wet mixture until a soft dough forms. Wrap it tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

- Cut out shapes using gingerbread man cookie cutters and place on parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are firm; cool before filling with Nutella and decorating with sprinkles.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Chilling the dough is important for better shape retention while baking.
- Feel free to decorate with any festive sprinkles of your choice.
