My new favorite cookie

I used to think that Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip cookies were my favorite...until I met these PB & NUTELLA cookies!! These are incredible, we managed to eat all of them in just a couple days. Next time I make these I'll be giving a bunch of them away so I don't eat them all again.

Just writing about these is making me want to go make them again. Yum!

Nutella Swirled Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup Nutella

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine butter, peanut butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
3. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a large measuring cup or bowl. Slowly stir in to the peanut butter mixture.
4. Drop spoonfuls of Nutella on top of the dough and swirl it through the dough with a butter knife.
5. Chill the dough for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
6. Roll into balls by hand.
7. Place the balls of dough on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
8. Use a fork to lightly press the balls down and make a criss-cross pattern.
9. Bake until the edges are very lightly browned, about 7 to 10 minutes.
10. Allow to cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes: I couldn't get the nutella to "swirl" into the dough so I ended up just mixing it into the dough with a spoon. It worked just as well.
