Ingredients

  • 1 cup (246g ) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (139g) + 2 tbsp salted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (123g) brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (228g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup nutella

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • With a mixer, cream together the peanut butter, butter, white sugar and brown sugar until blended.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.
  • Next, add flour, baking powder and salt to the peanut butter mixture and mix together. The dough will be very soft.
  • Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Press a tsp measuring spoon into the center of the cookie dough to create a crater.
  • Place cookies 2 inches apart on parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Don’t overcook! These cookies are much better soft and just barely cooked all the way through.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes on the pan.
  • After the cookies have cooled slightly, press a tbsp measuring spoon into each crater.
  • Let the cookies cool completely and spoon or pipe the Nutella into the center of each cookie. Enjoy!
