Pie Crust and Empanada Dough Recipe

I wanted to share the recipe that I use for Pie Crust and Empanada Dough. It's the Butter Pie Crust Recipe from the Land O'Lakes Website: http://www.landolakes.com/recipe/2092/butter-pie-crust

I'm reposting just the ingredients on my blog for my convenience. Please click on their link and learn how to make this pie crust. It also works great for empanada dough.

Just a quick note about making empanadas.
1. Remember to use parchment paper on your baking sheet.
2. Once you finish assembling your empanada remember to brush egg wash on top of the empanada to give it a golden top.

I doubled their recipe for my convenience. This recipe makes enough pie crust for two pies.

Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/3 cup cold salted butter

8 to 10 tablespoons cold water

Chocolate Covered Oreos Filled with Nutella

Chocolate Covered Oreos Filled with Nutella
Ingredients:
1 family size bag of Oreo Cookies
1 jar of Nutella
2 10 oz bags of Ghirardelli 60% cacao baking chips (dark chocolate)

1. Remove Oreos and place on wax paper lined baking sheet.
2. With a butter knife (dull), split Oreos in half.

3. Spread Nutella on 1 side of an Oreo and then add the second side of the cookie.

4. Repeat until all cookies are filled with Nutella.

5. Melt your chocolate in the microwave at 30 second intervals until melted.
6. Dip Oreo into chocolate. I use two forks to help with the dipping process. Then place dipped cookie on baking sheet.

7. Let chocolate set about 30 minutes.

8. Once cookies have hardened, place cookies in an air-tight container.
