You can’t stop with just one of these Peanut Butter Nutella cookies hot out of the oven! This easy recipe will become one of your favorites! Who doesn’t love these two flavors?

It’s so easy for me to serve my kids anything with peanut butter and Nutella.

Sandwiches, crepes, smoothies, and yes, even these cookies.

The flavors of peanut butter and Nutella just go together in perfect harmony.

There’s no debate on that!

What ingredients do I need to make Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies?

• All-purpose flour
• Vanilla extract
• Large egg
• Brown sugar
• Room temperature butter
• Creamy peanut butter
• Nutella 
• Salt
• Baking soda
• Cinnamon powder -optional. (Some like the extra dash of flavor)

Can I use wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour to make these Peanut Butter and Nutella Cookies?

You could, but this changes the flavor profile considerably.

It’s like eating white bread and wheat bread. There’s a noticeable difference, but you can switch out if you enjoy wheat flour cookies.

Can I use applesauce or yogurt instead of butter?

While this is a healthier substitute, the texture of the cookie would be more dense and spongy.

If this doesn’t bother you, go for it!

All set to bake but forgot to put out my butter! How can I soften it quickly?

Here’s a popular hack!

Fill a drinking glass or large glass measuring pitcher with hot water. Empty out the water and place the stick of butter on a wooden tray or glass plate. Invert and place the pitcher over the butter.

In less than 5 minutes, your butter should soften for use!

Can I freeze the cookie dough to make fresh Peanut Butter and Nutella cookies later?

You sure can!

When freezing cookie dough, place it in a freezer-safe bag before freezing.

To use again, leave the frozen cookie dough out to thaw completely before use.

How to make Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and brown sugar.

3. Add to this creamed mixture, the egg and vanilla extract.

4. Now add and combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon powder (optional)

5. Once this is done, separate the cookie dough into two equal portions. Fold the peanut butter in one and the Nutella in the other.

6. Once done, gently combine the peanut butter dough and the Nutella dough carefully, creating a marbled effect.

The cookie dough is now ready to be portioned out for baking!

Use a scoop to form the cookies on the cookie sheet.

(You can place these directly on the cookie sheet or line the sheet with parchment paper like I do. )

7. Bake this for 10-12 minutes.

Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
