Nutella + Peanut Butter

Welcome to our little kitchen. In the beautiful city by the bay. Here's what you need to know about us, for now. I'm S & he's H. We are newlyweds. And we love food. Here's to embarking on a new adventure together, to share the love from our kitchen with you. We hope you enjoy!

It's our first blog post AND it's World Nutella Day. Coincidence? Fate? 





When I came across this recipe on Pinterest, it was straight to the kitchen I went. Apart from the insanely deliciously sounding combination in the name, I was even more inclined to try these because the recipe lacked flour. 

Make these, you won't be disappointed.

Peanut Butter Thumbprint Cookies with Nutella Filling

Yield:
2 dozen cookies

Ingredients:
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup nutella
Course sea salt, optional

Method:
Preheat oven to 350*F and lightly grease a cookie sheet (or line with parchment)
Mix peanut butter, sugars, egg, vanilla extract until combined. Scoop the mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet. I used two spoons to do so, but a small ice cream scoop would work just as well. These cookies won't spread much, so there is no need to space them more than 1/2 inch apart.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until cookies are slightly flattened and the shine has disappeared.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.
While the cookies are still warm, make an indentation in the middle of each one. I used a bottle cap to do so, it was the perfect size. Scoop nutella into each of the indentations. I used two spoons to do this, as well.
Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.

*I halved the recipe, it yielded about 10 cookies.
