Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies

I think you just need to read the title to know this cookie is going to be good. It’s like the taste of a peanut butter cookie, but with a much chewier texture, and this delicious chocolaty swirl with a hint of hazelnut. It’s just as familiar as it is different. My husband and I quickly agreed that this was the best peanut butter cookie we have ever had. This is yet another jewel I found on Pinterest, via The Sisters Cafe – go check them out!

2 sticks butter, room temp
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 2/3 cup flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/3 (heaping) cup Nutella

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• With a mixer, cream the butter, peanut butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
• In a seperate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet.
• Disperse spoonfuls of Nutella in dough, then use a butter knife to swirl throughout.
• Place dough in fridge for 15 minutes (to allow Nutella to firm up).
• Scoop dough in heaping tablespoons onto cookie sheets.
• Bake for approx. 10 minutes, until slightly browned on edges.
• Allow to cool on pan for a few minutes, then move to cooling racks.

I also wanted to send out huge hugs to Jess over at A Lot On Your Plate (who has great tips for improving your life and a fabulous new design to boot!) and Trkingmomoe (who has loads of delicious recipes!) for the awards they gave me. Thanks so much ladies!!
