Peanut Butter & Nutella Cookies

Anyone who has tried nutella knows it's one of the best things in life.  This recipe combines regular peanut butter cookies with nutella, which basically means they are the most perfect cookies ever created!

I just got a new Kitchenaid mixer, so I was eager to test it out.  The cookies turned out to be a great first recipe to try with the mixer.

Ingredients:

1 stick butter
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/3 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 heaping tbsp. nutella

Instructions:

In mixer, cream the butter, peanut butter, white sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla together.  Now, add in the flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix together.  When the batter is evenly mixed, add in the nutella.  Rather than mixing, just gently swirl it into the dough.  I used a butter knife so that it just swirled in.  Put the dough right into the fridge for ten minutes.  After ten minutes, take it out and form balls to make the cookies.  Place them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 8-10 minutes.  Enjoy!
