It's HERE! World Nutella Day 2011!
Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso solemnly declare Saturday, February 5th “World Nutella Day 2011″ – a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella.
And to celebrate I've made some little Nutella cookie tarts. I saw this idea over at Tulip's Kitchen ages ago, here is my version made with Nutella cream.
Nutella Cookie Tarts
Just a rough recipe, quantities depend on how many you want to make.
Chocolate chip cookie dough - I made half of this recipe, from Savory Sweet Life, but you can use your favourite recipe or buy the packaged cookie dough from the supermarket
1 small carton of double cream
A couple of tablespoons of Nutella
A drop of hazelnut liqueur, optional
You need a mini muffin tin for this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Make the cookie dough and roll it into 1" balls, size depends upon your muffin tin. Put the dough balls into the tin and bake for about 10-12 minutes.
Take out of the oven and while still warm, indent the dough with a round implement - I used a small pestle from a pestle and mortar set - to make the tart shells. Leave to cool.
Whip the double cream and add the Nutella. You can add the hazelnut liqueur at this stage if using.
Pipe or spoon the cream into the cooled cookie dough tart shells and serve, or put in the fridge to serve later.

Cool and easy idea for tarts. I participated in Nutella Day too. Fun event!
Wow, these look awesome! I would like to have one or two right now.
OMG!!! I want one, they put my Nutella 'Earthquake cookies' to shame. They look so profesh and the best thing is you know they will taste even better!
yum looking all the nutella recipes
oh that is so clever - and they look so cute
My gosh, my mouth is watering just looking at those little bites. I could definitely eat a few of those. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog right now called "Sweets for a Saturday" and I'd like to invite you to stop by and link your tarts up. sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com
Strangely enough I'm not a great nutella fan even though I do like chocolate. That said the photos here are steadily convincing me that I need to give these a go... gosh they look divine!
YumYum !

So dainty and so gorgeous.
I didn't even realise it was World Nutella Day! These look lovely - cookie tarts are such an inspired idea! :)

These look *so* good! Thanks so much for participating in World Nutella Day :)

These are definitely going on my ever growing list of Nutella recipes to try!
These look incredibly good, I'm a massive Nutella fan, not sure how I managed to miss Nutella day again!
Good heavens...these are brilliant Nic. Like very glam thumb-print cookies. ♥ the idea and will have to give them a go soon! Chocolate always brings out the best in you! {BTW, the oregano you mailed me is finally filling up my pots. TY}
Stunning & georgous nutella cakes!!
Fabulously Food!
I just moved my blog to wordpress.com/ Come over @ my blog & check it out!! You must update your RSS too, my friend!
Perfect recipe! I have a batch of peanut butter mousse in the fridge that I need to use up- this will be perfect.
These look quite yummy! I love little cookie tarts and I haven't made them in sooo long. Thanks for the great idea.
What a fabulous idea! Love it!
Oh and the cookie dough I usually make cooks fro about 7 minutes, would you still advise 10? Is it to make them firmer? Maybe my recipe would be no good as it makes chewy cracked cookies.
Thank you everyone, so many lovely comments!
Jacqueline - I think if your cookies are cooked at 7 minutes, then that is probably all they might need. These cookies needed longer until they were cooked. They were not overly firm, but they didn't fall apart either. If you use one particular recipe that you like, you could try doing just a couple of these tarts next time you make your cookies to see if they cook how you want.
