These delectable cookies are a modern twist on the classic Jewish pastry, filled with rich and creamy Nutella spread. With a buttery, flaky crust and a gooey, chocolatey center, these cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients (makes 24 cookies):

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup Nutella spread
- 1 egg yolk, beaten
- 1 tablespoon water

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the dough comes together.
3. Divide the dough into two equal portions and wrap each in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut out circles of dough.
6. Spoon a small amount of Nutella onto the center of each circle. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching the corners to form a triangle shape.
7. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg yolk and water mixture.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
