Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter I used Jif
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour spoon & sweep method
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup Nutella

Instructions

  1. Scoop out roughly fifteen 1/3 - 1/2 teaspoon-sized scoops of Nutella onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Place baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
  3. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed for about 5 minutes - or until creamy and smooth.
  4. Add the vanilla, then the egg and mix well until incorporated, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the peanut butter and mix well until combined.
  5. Add the dry ingredients and mix until dough comes together and is slightly sticky and soft.
  6. Cover dough tightly and chill for at least 3 hours (and up to 2 days) in the refrigerator.

  7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

  8. Make 1 1/2 tablespoon sized balls using your hands and flatten. Add 1/3 but no more than 1/2 teaspoon of the frozen Nutella in the center, place another 1 1/2 tablespoons cookie dough ball on top, pinch sides and form a ball, sealing in the edges.
  9. Using a large fork, slightly flatten the dough and make a criss-cross pattern with the tines.
  10. Bake in preheated oven for 11 - 12 minutes, or until slightly browned.
  11. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Notes

Serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You may also freeze dough wrapped tightly in plastic paper wrap for up to three months.
