Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Butter unsalted, softened
  • 7 oz White granulated sugar
  • 8 oz Brown sugar dark or light
  • 2 Eggs large, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 11 oz Peanut butter smooth
  • 12 oz All purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • ½ tablespoon Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup Nutella swirled into the batter, plus extra for topping cookies
  • 1 cup Mini chocolate chips plus more for sprinkling on top

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • Using a stand mixer or hand held mixer, beat together butter, sugar, and brown sugar on high speed for 2 minutes. 
  • Next, add peanut butter. Mix until combined, followed by eggs and vanilla extract. Then, mix for an additional 2 minutes until creamy.
  • Add in the sifted dry ingredients and mix just until combined. After you have combined the flour mixture, make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl. 
  • Next, add mini chocolate chips. Use a rubber spatula to fold them in.
  • Using a small spoon, add drops of Nutella on top of mixed cookie dough. Then, use a sharp edged knife and swirl the Nutella into the cookie dough. Do not over mix. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours. 
  • Scoop the cookie dough using a medium size ice cream scoop. Place each cookie onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Line 6 cookies per sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes. 
  • Once the cookies have finished baking, remove them from the oven. Then, immediately top each cookie with small dollops of Nutella and extra mini chocolate chips. 
    Let the cookies cool completely before handling.
