Peanut Butter Nutella Swirl Cookies
Recipe adapted from Delightful Bitefuls
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
- 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.
