Peanut Butter Nutella Crinkles

Posted on 12/05/2011 by carlamoose


Now that Thanksgiving is over, I can finally focus on Christmas. I don’t
like to see or hear anything Christmasy until Black Friday. I was sad I
couldn’t bake to celebrate December 1 because I was stuck in Ohio for
work until Friday night. On Saturday, I sat down with my million cookie
books and couldn’t figure out what I wanted. Then I remembered – the
night before my trip, I got the latest Cooking Club magazine and saw a
recipe for Peanut Butter Nutella Crinkles.

The texture is soft and moist in the middle. When I took them out of the oven, they felt too soft, so I put them back in. They do come together after cooling. The recipe says 3 1/2 dozen, but because I used my 2-inch cookie scoop, I got 2 dozen.

If you enjoyed this recipe, you can visit my blog for more pictures and details.

Peanut Butter Nutella Crinkles

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup Nutella
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup sugar

Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. In another bowl, beat butter, 1/2 cup sugar, Nutella, and peanut butter for 2 minutes or until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla 30 seconds. Beat in dry ingredients 30 seconds.

Place 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Shape dough into 2 inch balls; roll in sugar. Place on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet; slightly flatten. Preheat the oven to 350F. Freeze the cookie sheets 20 minutes.

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on pan for 2 minutes then place cookies on wire rack; cool completely.

Makes 2 dozen cookies

Will be doing this in a few days, thankyou :3
Interesting about the freezing bit.

I believe it helps with the spreading. Never tried it without freezing so I can't compare.

What kind of peanut butter do you use? One of my pet peeves is recipes that use peanut butter & don't specify what kind. You can get very different results using all natural peanut butter (the kind that is just peanuts and salt) vs. using the kind with added oils and sugar (Jif, Skippy, etc.).

Thanks!

Oh I didn't know that. The recipe didn't specify either, so I used Peter Pan creamy PB. it says no corn syrup but does have sugar and oil.

Thanks for the info. The cookies sound amazing, especially since one of my favorite sandwiches is Nutella and peanut butter. :)
