Ingredients
Pastry
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Nutella Filling
- 2/3 cup Nutella spread
- 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon coarse or demerara sugar
Instructions
- Beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the flour and salt, and mix in until combined.
- Divide dough into half.
- Wrap each piece in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until easy to handle.
- Once chilled, roll out each dough portion between 2 sheets of waxed paper into a 12-inch circle. Remove the top sheet of waxed paper.
- Spread ⅓ cup Nutella over each circle, leaving about ¼-inch border around the circle.
- Cut each into 12 wedges.
- Roll up each wedge from the wide end; place pointed side down 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Curve ends to form a crescent shape.
- Brush the cookies with egg beaten with water and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake at 350° for 22-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove to wire racks.

Notes
- Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe. If using unsalted butter, increase the salt to 1/2 teaspoon.
- Cream cheese: I highly recommend using full-fat cream cheese in this recipe.
- Nutella: Any hazelnut spread will work, or you can make your own homemade Nutella spread.
- Coarse sugar: Use your favorite coarse or demerara sugar, or you can use sparkling sugar for more festive cookies.
