Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies

 


Peanut butter cookies are good, but add the infamous NUTELLA and you have an irresistible dessert. Peanut butter and nutella go SO unbelievably well together I bet you can't just eat one. Unless you have weird taste-buds like my husband who doesn't like peanut butter in his cookies. Then I can't help you. 






Beat together 1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Then beat in one egg and 1/2 tsp. vanilla.





In a separate bowl combine 1 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 tsp. salt, 3/4 tsp baking soda and slowly mix in dry mixture to wet mixture without over mixing. Then microwave 1/2 cup nutella for 20 sec. and fold into batter. At this point the batter is ready to be sampled. 





Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes and roll into little balls on a greased cookie sheet.





Use a fork to make these indentations on the cookies.





Bake for 8-10 minutes @ 350 degrees. 
Treat yourself to a rich combination of flavors. Oh my goodness I'm glad I have left-overs!
