Serving24 Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter (unsalted), at room temperature
- ¾ cup smooth peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Beat together the butter, peanut butter and sugars using an electric mixer until completely combined. Add in the egg and vanilla and beat until totally incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. With mixer on low, slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined.
- Microwave Nutella for 20 seconds and then drizzle over the dough. Fold in Nutella with a spatua until well-distributed throughout the dough to give it that "marbled" look.
- Chill the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes and then roll small balls by hand. Place about an inch apart on cookie sheet and use a fork to press the balls down slightly. Bake until the edges are lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 2 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
DO NOT over mix the dough. Just like any other cookie, over mixing will lead to dry, flat, cookies every time.
