This easy 1-bowl peanut butter cookies with Nutella swirl recipe features chewy peanut butter cookies with decadent Nutella ribbons. We finish them off with a sprinkle of sea salt to punch up the flavor even more!
Beat together the peanut butter and butter, and then beat in the brown sugar, egg, molasses, and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Drizzle in the Nutella, and stir it just a bit so it’s streaked throughout the dough, being careful not to overmix.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat baking mats.
Scoop the dough out into 3 tablespoon-sized balls and space them evenly out on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle a little sea salt on the cookie tops if desired. (Don't flatten the cookies.)
Bake until the cookies are set and slightly golden along the outside, but still a touch doughy in the center, about 14 to 16 minutes, rotating the trays once halfway though.
Let the cookies cool completely on the trays before removing.
