Ferrero Rocher Christmas Cookies
Description
This recipe blends cream cheese with unsalted butter to create a dough that’s soft but holds shape well after chilling. The flour is incorporated carefully, and the dough rests in the fridge to firm up for easier handling. After rolling out, the dough is cut into even squares and each piece wraps around half a Ferrero Rocher candy, pinching the edges to enclose the filling in an envelope shape. If needed, a whisked egg can be used to seal the corners securely.
Baking at 350°F for 15 minutes produces cookies with a lightly golden exterior and a tender crumb, enclosing the rich chocolate and hazelnut center. Once cooled, dusting with powdered sugar adds a delicate sweetness and festive appearance. Such cookies make a thoughtful gift or festive addition to holiday baking trays.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups butter room temperature, unsalted
- 3 cups flour
- 10-12 Ferrero Rocher candies cut in half
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the butter and cream cheese together until fluffy.
- Add in the flour, whisking until it's combined. Place the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Roll out the rested dough into a long, thin layer. Cut it into 20 even squares. Place the Ferrero Rocher candy in the middle and fold over the sides, pinching the corners together to form an envelope shape. If the corners aren't sticking, use a bit of whisked egg to "glue" them together.
- Bake cookies at 350°F for 15 minutes. Once the cookies cool, dust finish them with a dusting of powdered sugar.
