Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (500 g)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, cold (225 g)
- 1 TBS sugar
- ½ cup water (120 ml)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil (55 g)
- 2 cups chocolate spread (like Nutella)
Instructions:
- Dough Preparation: In a mixer with the paddle attachment, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Adding Liquids: Pour in water and oil, mixing just until the dough forms large, moist lumps.
- Chilling Dough: Form the dough into a ball, then divide into four equal parts. Shape each into a rectangle, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Rolling and Filling: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll each dough piece into a 12"x8" rectangle. Spread about ½ cup of chocolate spread over each.
- Forming Cookies: Roll the dough tightly from the shorter end. Place on a lined baking sheet. Make horizontal cuts along the dough, not fully separating the slices.
- Baking: Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden.
- Cooling and Cutting: Cool for 10-15 minutes, then cut into cookies using the pre-made cuts.
- Finishing: Once fully cooled, dust with powdered sugar.
Recipe Notes:
- Handle the dough gently to keep it flaky.
- Use high-quality chocolate spread for the best flavor.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
