Ding Ding Ding… We have a winner! This afternoon I made the monkeys a batch of peanut butter and Nutella cookies and boy were they delicious.
Milk and cookies, does it get any better than that?
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter {I used Jif}
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-pourpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda {15 Cool Uses for Baking Soda}
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Nutella
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl combine the butter, peanut butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla and blend until smooth. Slowly add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until all the ingredients all combined.
Drop spoonfuls of Nutella on top of the dough and then swirl it through the dough with the back of a spoon.
Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to get the perfect sized dough balls, then roll the ball in coarse or granulated sugar. Place on a lined baking sheet {I use silpats} and press the tops of the cookies down the a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 8- 10 minutes.
Makes 4 dozen

Erica says
I wonder what would happen if you refrigerated the nutella and then scooped out little balls and pushed one into the center of the cookie dough ball. Would it make a nutella center or would it melt out? Must try…
Danette says
Don’t feel bad Darlene, I never saw the print button either, until you mentioned it and I looked
