Peanut Butter & Nutella Swirl Cookies

This week I wanted to share one of my favourite recipes with you Peanut Butter & Nutella Swirl Cookies. These are the cookies I knock together quickly just cause I fancy a little sweet nibble and there is nothing in my candy drawer.

Plus it marries 2 of my favourite foods – Peanut Butter and Nutella….surely a combo made in heaven, right?

I know that a lot of people aren’t crazy about Peanut Butter but don’t let that put you off giving these a go. The peanut butter just gives the cookies a lovely delicate nutty flavour rather than a super heavy peanut butter hit.

These cookies are MEGA easy to make and taste amazing – they’re crumbly, nutty, soft on the inside, chocolatey……and basically everything you want in a good cookie.

Go on give them a go I promise you won’t regret it.

Ingredients

115g Butter 200g Smooth Peanut Butter 100g Dark Brown Sugar 120g Caster Sugar 1 Egg 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract 230g Plain Flour 3/tsp Bicarb of Soda 1/4tsp Salt 110g Nutella

Pre heat Oven to 180C

Step 1: In a large bowl cream together the butter and peanut butter. Once well combined add the sugars and mix again. Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture and beat until all ingredients are well mixed.

Step 2: Measure out the flour, bicarb and salt in a bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and combine the two using a wooden spoon to form a dough.

Step 3: Add the nutella to the cookie dough. Do not mix this with a spoon, using a knife slowly spread the nutella through the dough, being careful not to over mix as you want the dough to have a swirled effect. Cover the bowl with cling film or foil and pop the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes

Step 4: Take tablespoon sized amounts of cookie dough and lightly roll into a loose ball in your hands, place on to a baking tray and press down lightly with a fork. Leave plenty room between the cookies to spread in the oven

Step 5: Bake in the oven for 8 minutes or until the edges are ever so slight browned. He careful not to over bake, you want them to be soft in the middle.

Step 6: Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the tray then remove to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.
