Chocolate Hazelnut Shortbread

We love hazelnut flavor and cookies that aren’t too sweet, so this recipe is perfect for us! If you like your cookies on the sweeter side, bake up these crisp beauties and slather some Nutella between two to create an extra-special sandwich cookie. —Karla Johnson, East Helena, Montana

    Help! I followed the recipe verbatim and ended up with a powdery dough that I cannot shape, roll, or even begin to use a cookie cutter with. And I purchased Nutella specially for this recipe. How can I "fix this"???
