İzmir Bombası

Nutella Bomb Cookies 

• ½ c. Warm Water
• ¼ c. Oil (any cheap kind is fine)
• 1 T. Sugar
• 1 tsp. Vanilla
• 1 ½ c. Flour
• 13 oz. Nutella

1. Mix together Water, Oil, Sugar, Vanilla & Flour.
2. Use your hands to knead the dough. Sprinkle on a bit more flour if needed.
3. Place the lump of dough in a deep bowl. Cover the top tightly with Saran Wrap and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
4. Turn dough onto counter and roll into a long log. (Dough may be slightly oily/sticky which is okay, don’t add more flour unless absolutely necessary.)
5. Use a sharp knife to cut dough into 18 pieces (like coins).
6. Roll each “coin” into a ball (about the size of a walnut).
7. One ball at a time, use a rolling pin to spread out the dough like you would a pie crust, so it is flat and thin, but not broken.
8. Scoop a blob of Nutella onto the middle of each rolled out circle of dough.
9. Fold up the edges of the dough and pinch to seal.
10. Place folded side down (smooth side up) on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
11. Once all stuffed cookies are on the tray, place tray into an oven preheated to 425^oF for 5-6 minutes. (Do not overcook or the chocolate will harden.)
12. These cookies are delicious but messy to eat as the chocolate explodes out once bitten into. Be careful to allow them to cool sufficiently so the hot chocolate inside doesn’t cause a burn.
