Ingredients in Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies
Nutella: A must! You can also use generic or any chocolate spread – or even any peanut butter or kind of spread you like.
Unsalted Butter: Make sure to soften your butter!
Peanut Butter: Use regular no-stir peanut butter (not natural) – you can use creamy or chunky.
Sugar: A combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar are used.
Vanilla: For flavoring
Egg: For fat and structure
Baking Soda: This is a normal ingredient for cookies
Salt: Needed since we are using unsalted butter – omit if if using salted butter
Milk: My secret peanut butter cookie ingredient – keeps the cookies soft!
All-Purpose Flour: Be sure to measure it correctly.
How to make Nutella Stuffed Cookies
Step 1. Drop spoonfuls of the Nutella on a wax or parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Freeze while making cookie dough.
Step 2. Cream butter with peanut butter and both sugars until smooth.
Step 3. Mix in the milk, egg, vanilla, baking soda and salt, then mix in the flour.
Step 4. Scoop 1 tablespoon balls of cookie dough. Flatten half the balls and place some of the frozen Nutella on top, then top with a second cookie dough round and roll into a ball. Roll the balls in granulated sugar.D
Step 5. Place on cookie sheet, press to flatten using a fork. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden.
