Nutella Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies combine two of your favorite sweet flavors into one indulgent dessert!
Don’t you just love cookie making this time of year? I’m excited to share one of my new favorite recipes with you today-Nutella Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies! This is an adaptation of my 4 ingredient gluten free Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe….it’s hard to make the classic recipe better but I gave it a shot by stuffing it with ooey-gooey Nutella!
The key to stuffing Nutella into the cookies is to freeze the Nutella beforehand so that you can seal the cookie dough around it and keep it. I find it easiest to also chill my peanut butter cookie dough as well so it’s not so sticky to work with while forming the cookie around the frozen Nutella.
