Description

Bake soft, chewy Nutella Peanut Butter Cookies with this easy recipe. Rich, gooey, and perfect for any sweet craving.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour (unbleached preferred)

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ½ cup Nutella (adjust depending on swirl or center preference)


Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Cream Butter and Sugars:
    In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).

  • Add Wet Ingredients:
    Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.

  • Add Nutella:
    For swirled cookies, gently fold Nutella into the dough with a butter knife, being careful not to overmix. For stuffed cookies, chill dough for 30 minutes, scoop a tablespoon of dough, make an indent, spoon Nutella in the center, and seal with more dough.

  • Scoop and Bake:
    Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls onto the baking sheet. Bake for 9–11 minutes or until edges are set and centers are soft.

  • Cool:
    Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Nutella melts fast — keep it chilled or partially frozen if stuffing cookies.

Don’t overbake! These cookies continue to cook while cooling.

Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing.

Cookies can be frozen pre- or post-baking for up to 2 months.
