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.
