Nutella Peanut Butter Swirl Cookie Recipe

These cookies are for peanut butter lovers and chocolate lovers-not for those with nut allergies! Inspiration came from watching the "dessert" episodes on Ultimate Recipe Showdown, and having a craving for one of my favorite Italian desserts, Nutella! The amount of nutella can be varied depending on how chocolately you are feeling....enjoy!


Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup peanut butter (smooth works better)
1/2 granulated sugar
1/2 packed 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
1/2 cup Nutella (use more to taste)


Yields: 36 cookies

Prep:
Preheat oven to 350F

1. Combine butter, PB, sugars, egg, & vanilla. Blend well with mixer.

2. Add in flour, baking soda & salt. Blend again with mixer.

3. Drizzle in nutella over the top of the mixture, and swirl into pb dough with butter knife
.
Chill dough 15-20 min in refrigerator. Roll into balls by hand.

4. Place on greased cookie sheet. Flatten out slightly to ensure even cooking. Bake until edges lightly browned, roughly 7-9 min.


Enjoy the chocolatey & nutty delicious-ness :)
