Homemade Nutella Sandwich Cookies - Vegan and simple to make, delicious! #vegan #veganfood #nutella #baking #veganbaking #cookiesHELLO everyone! A couple of days ago, our awesome Italian neighbor Carlo who lives right above us made some homemade Cookies and Nutella which looked amaaaaaaaazing, but obviously, Miss Vegan here couldn’t try them as they contained butter so I decided to make my own Vegan version of his cookies. Wheeeee! Iran (alright, walked… I’m super unfit)  to the supermarket like a lunatic at 10pm at night to get hazelnuts, vegan chocolate, vegan butter and everything else I needed and immediately got started on making these babies.

My first batch of homemade Vegan Nutella ended up way too thick and overheated my Vitamix’s motor. It was also way too pale and lacked a considerable amount of chocolate flavor. Attempt #2 was much much better, and after refining the recipe a little, I ended up with a delicious, thick and yummy Chocolate Hazelnut Spread. As for the cookies, the first batch ended up an ugly, awful, crumbly mess. Into the bin they went! But after some changes to the recipe and method, I was finally able to make nice, even-sized little Vegan Shortbread Cookies. Lesson to be learnt: always remember that if you fail, try and try again, till everything comes out just right! By the end of everything, I was DEAD TIRED and in need of a long nap. Still, it was all worth it.

    Ingredients
      

    • Homemade Vegan Nutella:
    • 80 grams Hazelnuts
    • 140 grams Cane or Coconut Sugar
    • 70 grams Vegan Butter or Coconut Oil
    • 130 grams Non Dairy Milk
    • 150 grams Vegan Dark Chocolate 70%
    • Vegan Shortbread Cookies:
    • 200 grams vegan Butter salted
    • 160 grams Icing Sugar
    • 2 tablespoons Vanilla Bean Paste
    • 280 grams Pastry Flour
    • Coarse raw sugar to sprinkle on before baking

    Instructions
     

    • Make homemade Vegan Nutella:Process nuts and sugar in a food processor until everything is ground together.
    • In a pot, melt butter or coconut oil with plant milk and dark chocolate till everything is smooth. Add nut/sugar mixture to pot and stir well. Cook for 30 seconds or till sugar has dissolved.
    • If you want a smoother Nutella, you can use an immersion blender at this point to blend it smooth. Pour into a mason jar, seal and leave to cool. Store in the refrigerator.
    • Make Vegan Shortbread: In a bowl, using a wooden spoon, cream Vegan butter and icing sugar till just combined. Add vanilla bean paste in, and stir to mix.
    • Add flour into the butter mixture, and using a cutting motion, cut it into the creamed mixture. You will end up with quite a crumbly dough.
    • Turn everything out onto your tabletop, and very gently knead into a ball. Place ball of dough in between 2 pieces of non stick parchment paper, and roll to a 1/4 inch thickness.
    • Place dough, still covered in parchment, into the freezer for 15 minutes to harden slightly.
    • Baking and Assembling: Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
    • Remove dough from freezer and cut out into desired shapes. Sprinkle with raw sugar and press the sugar into the top of the cookie very gently.
    • Place on a parchment lined baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes, or till the edges of the cookies are light golden brown.
    • Remove from oven and let cool thoroughly on the baking tray.
    • Re roll scraps of dough to make more cookies.
    • Once cookies are cooled, pipe a layer of homemade nutella onto the base of one cookie and sandwich with another cookie.

        They look awesome D: I can't wait to try them. I have a question tho, if I don't have vegan chocolate (I assume is in bars) can I substitute it with some other kind of chocolate? Cocoa maybe?

          Hi Sofia :) Yes you most definitely can use Cocoa powder instead, but remember to up the sugar levels in the Nutella to compensate :)
