Have I mentioned how much I dig the combination of chocolate and peanut butter? It’s a bad problem that I have developed, but I just can’t help myself! It’s just soo good. These babies satisfy sweet and savoury in just one bite, and it just works so well.

Using my favourite peanut butter cookie recipe, you make the cookie dough as is, and then just dollop some nutella in the middle and you got this crowd pleaser batch of cookies!

ingredients:

– 1 egg
– 3/4 cup of creamy peanut butter (I typically buy the medium size jar, and use all of it.)
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup of brown sugar
– 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
– 1 TBSP vanilla extract
– 3/4 cup and 2 TBSP of regular flour
– 3/4 cup of cake flour
– 1/2 TSP baking soda
– baby jar of nutella

the way:

NUTELLA

– with two teaspoons, scoop out some nutella and form a ball as best as you can. Take the formed ball and carefully transfer it onto a plate. Continue doing this until the whole plate is covered with nutella balls.
– place the plate in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

DOUGH

– mix the egg, butters, sugars, and vanilla. Beat until fully combined/creamy.
– add the flours and baking soda, and mix until combined.
– use a cookie scooper or your hands, and roll the dough into balls.
– with each ball, use your index finger and push down the middle of the ball to create a well.
– take out your frozen nutella balls.
– place one ball in the well you’ve created and pinch the edges of the dough together and roll until you can’t see the nutella.
– repeat for every ball.
– if you have remaining nutella balls left, go ahead and eat them; you don’t want to waste nutella!
– then as a signature PB cookie always calls for: flatten the dough a touch, and use a fork to create a tic-tac-toe shape.
– place the formed, pre-baked cookies into the fridge, and let it set for about an hour.
– preheat the oven to 350/180 degrees and bake for about 9 minutes, or until the edges have set.
– when you take them out, let them cool down for a bit. They’ll be pretty soft and will crumble if you touch them right away.
