These Frosted Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies have a soft and chewy peanut butter cookie base with chocolate hazelnut spread on top for the ultimate flavor combination.
These Frosted Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies are inspired by a local cookie shop near my house. They are incredible!
Ingredients in Frosted Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies:
- butter
- peanut butter
- sugar
- powdered sugar
- salt
- baking soda
- eggs
- flour
- Nutella
How To Make Frosted Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies:
These cookies are always a HUGE hit. They look and taste like you spent a lot of time and effort into making them, but they are so simple to make!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter, 1 1/4 cups sugar and powdered sugar.
Add salt, baking soda and eggs and mix until combined.
Mix in flour until well combined.
The dough will be really thick, but that is how it is supposed to be so don’t worry about that.
Use a cookie scoop or roll dough into balls, then roll dough in remaining 1/2 cup sugar.
Place dough 2 inches apart on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Dip the bottom of a glass into remaining sugar and press down to flatten each ball of cookie dough until 1/4″ thick.
Be sure not to press the cookies too thin. This dough doesn’t rise very much so they will be about as thick as you press them down.
If you press them too thin, they will be dry and overcooked.
Bake 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely.
Scoop Nutella into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds to soften.
Spread Nutella on top of each peanut butter cookie and let cool to set up.
If you try and spread the Nutella on while the cookies are too warm, it won’t work too well.
It spreads better when the Nutella is warm and the cookies are cooled.
The flavor combination of a freshly baked, homemade peanut butter cookie with Nutella on top is absolutely AMAZING.

This is a great recipe. Since there is a peanut allergy in my house I used sunflower seed butter. It worked beautifully. So yummy and family approved.

How many cookies will this recipe make?
-
Janet says:
I'd love to try these, but wonder if after they're set up, can they be stacked on top of each other or will that mess up the nutella topping?
-
Momma Cyd says:
They might stick to each other just a little bit. Just depends on how much the Nutella sets up.
-
Momma Cyd says:
It makes around 24, it really depends on the size of the dough ball.
-
Valerie says:
Do these cookies freeze well if made a few days in advance?
-
Momma Cyd says:
They should freezer well in an airtight freezer container or freezer bag.

PamCake47 says:
I made these today & mine were so soft they were falling apart, Wonder what I did wrong? Although I did taste some of the pieces & they were delish.
-
Momma Cyd says:
Just add in a little more flour to your dough if it was hard to handle.
