Servings 16 cookies
Calories 236kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter regular, not the natural kind that separates
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Nutella or any brand of chocolate hazelnut spread you like
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top (optional)
Instructions
- Beat together the peanut butter and butter, and then beat in the brown sugar, egg, 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.
