Peanut Butter and Nutella Cookies


Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg OR 1 flax egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup Nutella
  • Granulated sugar

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine peanut butter and butter and mix on medium-high until pale and well-combined.
  • Add in sugars, baking soda, baking powder, egg and vanilla. Mix until just combined.
  • Add in flours and mix on low until just combined.
  • Remove bowl from mixer and add Nutella to the dough. Stir until just distributed throughout dough. You want a “swirl” effect.
  • Form the dough into 1-2 inch balls, roll in granulated sugar to coat and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Using a fork dipped in water, press cross-hatch marks on the cookies to flatten.
  • Bake for 7-8 minutes or until edges are just slightly brown. Let cool on sheet for an additional 5 minutes and then remove to wire rack to cool completely. Cookies will be very soft when warm.
  • SERIOSULY these cookies are so so yummy! I found the recipe on food gawker from backtoherroots.com. But do just make sure not to overcook them! They are chewy and yummy but yet a little crispiness to the edges.
