Peanut Butter and Nutella Cookies


I wish I could remember where I got this recipe because it is a winner!!!  I'm not a big cookie eater, but I do likes me peanut butter cookies every so often.  Well, this is peanut butter on steroids!  A swirl of Nutella into the cookie dough sends this over the edge.  Soft, chewy, delicious!

PEANUT BUTTER and NUTELLA COOKIES

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 2/3 cup flour
2 tsp soda
1 tsp salt
heaping 1/3 Nutella  

Cream butter, peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla together until smooth.  Combine flour, soda, and salt and add to butter mixture.  Add Nutella in dollops over the top of the dough.  Use a butter knife to swirl the Nutella through the dough.  Do not over mix.  Chill in fridge for at least an hour.  Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.  Bake until slightly brown at edges.  Let cool a few minutes on cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
