Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 Cup Nutella
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 ⅓ Cups Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • ¾ Tsp Vanilla
  • Cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 pinch Salt

Instructions
 

  • Freeze the Nutella - Line a plate with parchment paper and drop Nutella by teaspoonfuls onto it. Freeze for 20–30 minutes, or until firm. This makes stuffing the cookies much easier and prevents leaks.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Lightly coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper
  • Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
  • In a standard mixer, combine butter, peanut butter and brown sugar, blend on low until smooth.
  • Slowly add in the egg and vanilla, beat until smooth.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture to the mixer and combine on low, until combined.
  • Cover dough and refrigerate for 20, this will allow the flavors to mend and makes the dough easier to work with.
  • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place a frozen Nutella dollop in the center, then gently wrap the dough around it, sealing completely.
  • Roll into a smooth ball and roll in sugar.
  • Place cookies 2–3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. If you like the classic peanut butter cookie look, lightly press the tops with a fork.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve & Enjoy!
