Peanut Butter Nutella Swirl Cookies

    We are already to day number eight in my 12 days of Christmas cookies! These swirl cookies are everything that a cookie should be. Peanut butter + Nutella = happiness!

Peanut Butter Nutella Swirl Cookies

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup of butter at room temperature

- 3/4 cup of peanut butter

- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar

- 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar

- 1 egg

- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

- 1 3/4 cups of flour

- 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda

- 1/4 teaspoon of salt

- 1/2 cup of Nutella

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat together the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until mixture is fluffy. Then, add in the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. 

    In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture until just combined. 

    Melt the Nutella in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Drizzle the Nutella over your dough mix and fold it in to create a marbled look. Cover and chill for about 15-20 minutes. Roll the dough into small balls and gently depress with a fork after placing them one inch apart on a greased baking sheet. 

    Bake them for about 8-10 minutes and allow them to cool a few minutes before removing them from the baking sheet. Beautiful!!!!!

Flourless Peanut Butter Blossoms

    Today is the fifth day in my cookie countdown to Christmas! Peanut butter kiss blossoms have always been a favorite of mine any time of the year. This recipe is super rich and chewy!

Flourless Peanut Butter Blossoms

Ingredients:

- 1 cup of creamy peanut butter

- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, plus extra for garnish

- 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar

- 1 large egg

- 1/4 teaspoon of salt

- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

- Hershey's kisses

    In a large bowl combined all ingredient except the kisses. Press dough together into a ball, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

    Roll dough into one inch balls and roll in granulated sugar. Place balls on a greased cookie sheet. Gently depress each ball because they will not spread very much in the oven. Bake for 7-10 minutes. When they are through baking, remove from the oven and gently press a kiss into each cookie. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet, they will be very soft.
