The Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookie Cups I posted earlier in the week were good, really good! But these Peanut Butter and Nutella Cookie Cups are even better. When eating a Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookie Cup you’ll say mmmmmm, but when you eat a Peanut Butter and Nutella Cookie Cup you’ll say, oh my!
I used our favorite peanut butter cookie recipe, which is a little more fudgy than the PB&J Cookie Cups recipe because it’s made with butter and has twice as much peanut butter. I roll it in turbinado sugar so there is a little bit of crunch on the outside, which is a wonderful contrast to the fudgy cookie and smooth creamy Nutella middle. Oh My!

Peanut Butter Nutella Cookie Cups
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- Turbinado sugar sugar in the raw, optional
- ½ cup Nutella
- Chopped peanuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer using the paddle attachment. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the peanut butter and continue beating on low speed. Add the sifted dry ingredients and beat until just blended.
- Form dough into 1 ½ inch balls. Roll balls in turbinado sugar. Place each ball in a cup of a greased mini muffin tin.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes until edges are browned and crackled, the centers will not be completely set.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and using the end of a thick-handled wooden spoon make a small, deep well in the center of each cookie and fill with Nutella. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of Nutella.
- Transfer cookies to a rack to cool completely.

Reeni
What decadent little treats Barbara! I love the idea of Nutella and peanut butter together.
Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella
Mum, these look so good! I bet it’s hard to eat just one of these and I think I’d stop t about 6 of 7 😛 xxx
Sarah, Maison Cupcake
These look marvellous… I think I had better do a bit of Nutella celebrating of my own with a spoon downstairs…
Laura
I love Nutellla and these cookies look so delicious! My sister makes a similar recipe, but stuffs a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup in the center.
Amanda
Oh these sound wonderful Barbara! They remind me of fudge puddles 🙂
Megan
Oh my indeed, they look fantastic! And i bet the extra little crunch from the sugar made them perfect.
Barbara
I know this is shocking, especially on World Nutella Day, but I’ve never been a fan of Nutella, nor has my family. Go figure. I’m going to stick with the pb&j cup recipe and add a bit of turbinado sugar to the top!
Kelly
Barbara – I made these today – thanks for a great idea. I had my doubts about making an indent in the cookie but it worked perfectly. And you were right – letting the nutella set for a minute melts it – so you can spread it around in the little cup. Thanks for the great idea – I liked these better than the one with kisses.
Barbara
Thanks for coming back and letting me know you made them! I’m so glad the recipe worked perfectly for you! I agree, definitely better than PB cookies with Kisses.
Crustabakes
These look crazily good! i cant wait to try these!
tiffany ~food finery

Hi Barbara, Is it that I haven´t found it or don´t you have a “print recipe” option on your blog recipe entries?? I am enjoying your recipes and would like it to be easier to have them on hand when I cook them. Also with so many wonderful cooking blogs on the internet I am making my own cookbook with the printed recipes I like most and yours definitely are a must!! Thanks for so many delicious goodies…
