Yummy Slice-and-Bake Cookies

By Pikachutherecipereader

I make slice and bake dough all the time; I use half butter and half crisco for the shortening – makes a fluffier cookie.

Preparation Instructions

Combine flour, instant coffee, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir together and set aside.

Cream together the butter with the sugars, scraping the bowl once while mixing. Add eggs, mixing one at a time, and vanilla. Add peanut butter and Nutella and mix. Add dry ingredients in increments, mixing gently after each addition. Scrape the bowl once and mix again.

Add chopped pecans and M&M's and mix gently to combine. Add more of either ingredient if needed.

Spoon dough on a long piece (or two shorter pieces) of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Carefully roll the dough inside the wrap, pressing gently to get it to form into a firm cylinder. Refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours or place into the freezer for 20-30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice off as many cookies as you'd like and lay the slices on a baking sheet. (The thicker the slices, the farther apart the cookies will need to be. They bake up flat.)

Bake for 10 minutes, or until nice and golden brown.

Delicious!
