Chocolate Nutella Pinecone Cookies

Sift together flour, salt, cocoa and baking powder; set aside.

In bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the powdered sugar, butter, and oil until light, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg, mix until combined.

Add the dry ingredients in 3 steps and beat just until combined; flatten and wrap the dough in kitchen plastic and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.

Once the dough has chilled, allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Pinch out approximately 1 tbsp of the dough and roll between palms of your hands into a cone shape. Using a thin knife, cut the diagonal lines on the top of the cookie cones, making 2 opposite rows. Drizzle some granulated sugar if desired and bake on middle rack for 15-18 minutes until the edges of baked cookies are set.

Once baked, allow the cookies to fully cool off before spreading each half with about 1/4 tsp (or more) of Nutella, sandwiching with a matching in size other half. Alternatively, these delicious cookies can be enjoyed without any filling! Dust with powdered sugar, serve, package or enjoy!❤️
