Ingredients

1 cup gluten free all-purpose flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, mix the gluten free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Scoop out a tablespoon of dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a small amount of Nutella in the center.
Enclose the Nutella with the dough, rolling it into a ball.
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
