Nutella® Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies Recipe

Nutella® Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies Recipe

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (such as Natural Jif®)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 53 pretzel sticks, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella®)
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Mix 2 cups and 2 tablespoons flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  3. Beat brown sugar and butter together in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy; add egg, egg yolk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Slowly pour flour mixture into sugar mixture and stir just until dough is combined; fold in pretzels and chocolate-hazelnut spread.
  4. Drop dough onto a baking sheet using 2 spoons.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes; rotate baking sheet and continue baking until cookies are fully cooked and still soft in the middle, about 7 minutes more. Cool cookies on baking sheet for about 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
