minutesI love this cookbook by Pippa Middleton. It is such a fun book and all the recipes are just delicious and so festive. It is my go to for fun, festive ideas and recipes. These are a hit as my children love Nutella. I have these on hand regularly and have even played with the recipe to add to the flavor. They are so good and very light. ****The cookies will freeze for 1 month in an air tight container.
If you want to make these plain, leave out the cocoa, increase the self rising flour by 3/4 cup. Add finely grated lemon or lime, about 1/2 teaspoon and bake as directed. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

6 Tablespoons super fine sugar

1/2 powdered sugar
1/4 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
