Whisk with Electric hand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
After that add the sifted bitter cocoa and incorporate well.
Separately, sift the flour with the baking powder, baking soda and pinch of salt.
Combine the dry ingredients with the butter and sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly with a spatula.
How to form cookies
With the mixture obtained, using two teaspoons, form small balls the size of a tangerine.
Round off each mound of dough by rolling them between the palms of your hands.
Place the balls on a baking tray covered with baking paper.
Then, with your finger, press in the center to form a hollow deep enough but do not go so far as to pierce the base.
How to bake Nutella thumbprint cookies
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven, in static mode, at 350°F (180°C) for about 12-15 minutes.
If you have a fan oven, bake at 320°F (160°C) for about 10-12 minutes.
But check the baking because not all ovens are the same.
When you take the cookies out of the oven, they will still be a little soft and should be so.
If necessary, press on the hollow to define the shape with a teaspoon.

Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
When cool, fill the hollow with Nutella using a teaspoon.
