Nutella cookies with peanut butter will make any day brighter!
It’s totally cookie season, y’all. You should be like me and head to the nearest grocery store to stock up on butter. I currently have 10 pounds of butter in my refrigerator. You think I’m joking, but no. I am not.
Chocolate chips? I have an entire bin in my pantry devoted to nothing but chocolate chips. Dark chocolate, semi-sweet, milk chocolate, white chocolate, I have it all. I’ve even got peanut butter chips and toffee bits.
I take holiday baking very seriously. You should too.
Nutella cookies are always a hit!
This really isn’t a very holiday-ish recipe at all, but it’s a cookie so I’m going with it. Also, I just put my tree up today and am feeling very sparkly and shoppy. Baking is better on the wallet than shopping, though.
Not so much on the waist.
You win some, you lose some.
And cookies are worth tight pants, right? I know you agree with me.
Hope you guys love this recipe as much as my family did! The swirls of Nutella pair so well with the peanut butter cookie. You can’t go wrong! 🙂
