Nutella Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies
Sweet, salty peanut butter cookies made extra special by dipping them in Nutella.
These Nutella-dipped peanut butter cookies were fun to make and messy to eat! I was inspired by a Nutella-dipped peanut butter cookies recipe I saw on The Curly Spoon Blog. YUM! The only problem with these cookies is they are a little bit messy! The Nutella doesn’t set as well as chocolate does, but they are still really tasty.
Nutella Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies
Peanut Butter Cookies:
- 1¼ cups flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Nutella Dip:
- ½ cup Nutella spread, warmed
- 1½ tbsp coconut oil, melted
How to Make Nutella Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.
Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl; mix well.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and peanut butter with a hand mixer until combined. Add ½ cup white sugar and the brown sugar then beat until creamy and smooth. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix until combined.
Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon until just combined.
Place 2-inch balls of dough on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes or until golden at the edges and just set. Remove from the oven and let the cookies set on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Warm the Nutella with 1½ tablespoons of coconut oil, and stir until mixed thoroughly.
Dip half of each cookie into the Nutella, tapping off the excess, and place on a piece of parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer to set the Nutella.
Sprinkle a bit of flaked sea salt on top right before serving.
Serve with ice-cold milk and enjoy.
Store in a sealed container with parchment paper between layers.
