Making the Dough for Spitzbuben mit Haselnuss Füllung

First, grab a big bowl. Toss in your flour, cold cubed butter, powdered sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt. Now, get your hands in there and knead it all together until you get a nice, smooth dough.

Cutting and Baking Your Spitzbuben mit Haselnuss Füllung

Okay, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). While that’s heating up, take your chilled dough out of the fridge. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Not too thin, not too thick – you want them sturdy enough to hold that yummy filling! Now, grab your Spitzbuben cutter (or any fun shape you like!) and cut out your cookies. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Watch them carefully! You want them lightly golden, not burnt to a crisp.

Assembling Your Delicious Spitzbuben mit Haselnuss Füllung

Once your cookies are baked and cooled completely (important!), it’s time for the fun part! Take one cookie and spread a generous amount of hazelnut filling on the bottom. Then, grab another cookie (the one with the hole in the middle, if you used a traditional cutter) and gently place it on top, creating a sandwich. Finally, dust those beauties with powdered sugar. Don’t be shy! And there you have it – homemade Spitzbuben mit Haselnuss Füllung! Enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Spitzbuben mit Haselnuss Füllung

Want your Spitzbuben to be *amazing*? Of course, you do! Here are a few little secrets I’ve learned over the years:

Chilling the Dough is Key

Seriously, don’t skip this! Chilling the dough firms up the butter, which prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. Plus, it makes the dough way easier to handle. Nobody wants sticky, unmanageable cookie dough!

Don’t Overbake

Keep a close eye on those cookies! Overbaked Spitzbuben are dry and crumbly. You want them to be just lightly golden around the edges. Remember, they’ll continue to firm up as they cool.

Use High-Quality Hazelnut Spread

This makes a HUGE difference! Cheap hazelnut spreads can be oily and lacking in flavor. Splurge on a good quality one – you won’t regret it! My favorite part is tasting the hazelnut spread before I bake the cookies!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions for Spitzbuben mit Haselnuss Füllung

Okay, so maybe you’re missing an ingredient or want to switch things up? No problem! Here are a few ideas to keep those Spitzbuben dreams alive!

Flour Options

Don’t have all-purpose flour? No worries! You can totally use a gluten-free blend. Just make sure it’s a 1:1 replacement. Spelt flour works too, for a slightly nuttier taste!

Hazelnut Spread Alternatives

Alright, if you’re not a hazelnut fan (gasp!), or just don’t have any on hand, almond butter or even peanut butter works great! Just keep in mind it’ll change the flavor a bit. But hey, variety is the spice of life, right?

Vegan Spitzbuben mit Haselnuss Füllung

Want to make these vegan? Easy peasy! Just swap the butter for a vegan butter stick, use a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water), and make sure your hazelnut spread is vegan-friendly. Boom! Vegan Spitzbuben!

Storing Your Spitzbuben mit Haselnuss Füllung

So, you’ve made a batch of these delicious cookies, but you can’t possibly eat them all at once (or can you?). Here’s how to keep them fresh and yummy!

How to Store

The best way to store your Spitzbuben is in an airtight container at room temperature. That’s it! Super simple, right?

How Long They Last

Stored properly, these cookies will stay fresh for about a week. But let’s be real, they probably won’t last that long! They’re just too good!

Spitzbuben mit Haselnuss Füllung FAQ

Got questions about making these little gems? I got you! Here are some of the most common things people ask (and some I wish they’d asked before I messed up a batch!).

Can I freeze Spitzbuben mit Haselnuss Füllung?

Absolutely! These cookies freeze beautifully. Just pop them in an airtight container, and they’ll be good for a couple of months. I like to freeze them *before* dusting with powdered sugar, then dust them after they thaw. Keeps ‚em looking pretty!

How can I prevent the dough from sticking?

Ah, the dreaded sticky dough! The key is to make sure your butter is *really* cold. And don’t be afraid to use plenty of flour when you’re rolling it out. If it’s still sticking, pop it back in the fridge for a bit. Chilling is your friend!

What is a Spitzbuben cutter?

Okay, so a Spitzbuben cutter is just a fancy cookie cutter! It’s usually round with a smaller shape cut out of the middle. That way, when you assemble the cookies, you can see the yummy hazelnut filling peeking through. But honestly? You can use *any* cookie cutter you like! Stars, hearts, dinosaurs… go wild!
