Servings: 8 cookies
Calories: 364kcal
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Large cookie scoop 3-4 tablespoon capacity
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring spoons
- Hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment recommended
- Spatula
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113.5 g) unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1¾ cups (218.75 g) all-purpose flour weighed in grams or spooned and leveled
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup (64.5 g) peanut butter
- ¼ cup (75 g) Nutella or other chocolate hazelnut spread
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes on medium speed). Mix in the egg and vanilla extract really well.
- Stir the flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients until combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Transfer half of the dough into a separate medium bowl. Fold the peanut butter into one half of the dough, and Nutella into the other, using a spatula. Combine both doughs in the large bowl and fold them together a few times so they have a marbled effect.
- Scoop large cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet 2-3 inches apart and bake until the edges have set (about 9-12 minutes). Let them cool on the pan until firm enough to transfer to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
Peanut Butter: I recommend using creamy peanut butter that is not natural. If you do use natural peanut butter, try to avoid adding excess oil to the dough.
Storage: Store peanut butter Nutella cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week. Or, store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Cookie dough balls can be frozen and baked 1 month later.
