Petite Nutella Pochettes
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
- Water, as needed
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- Special equipment: 3-inch fluted biscuit cutter
- In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, cream the butter and cream cheese together until light and creamy.
- Add the flour slowly until the dough forms.
- Do not over-mix!
- Shape the dough into a ball and cover.
- Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- On a lightly-floured surface, using a lightly-floured rolling pin, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
- Using a 3-inch fluted biscuit cutter, cut out as many circles as you can.
- Form the scraps into a ball and reroll to make more circles.
- Fill each dough circle with a small spoonful of the chocolate-hazelnut spread.
- Dip your finger in tap water and spread on the edge of half the circle to help create a seal.
- Fold the dough over to create a crescent.
- Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
- Cool, then sift the confectioners' sugar on top and serve.
