Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

2. Place the butter and peanut butter in your stand mixer or large mixing bowl and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the sugar and mix for an additional 2 minutes. Add the eggs and mix for 1 minute. This may seem like a lot of mixing time, but trust me...it will make the cookies more chewy and delightful. ? Add the vanilla and mix just until combined.

3. In a separate bowl toss together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.

4. Spray your cookie sheet with cooking spray and coop the dough into 1 1/2 balls onto the sheet.

5. Bake for 7-8 minutes or just until the tops are slightly cracked. You want to be sure not to over bake. The cookies should appear a little bit underdone when you take them out of the oven. Allow them to rest on the hot cookie sheets for several minutes. This will allow them to continue baking without making them hard and crunchy.

6. Cool completely then spread nutella on the top of each one.

Serve and enjoy!

Yield: 36-48 cookies (depending on how big you make them)
