Peanut Butter Nutella Swirl Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Nutella

Preparation

Step 1

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together butter, peanut butter, and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

- Add in the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together 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 spatula until well-distributed throughout the dough.

- Chill the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes and then roll small balls by hand.

- Place about an inch apart on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and use a fork to press down the balls 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.
