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.

These look awesome! About how many cookies does this recipe make?
Barbara
Thanks Becky! It makes about 3 dozen cookies.
Kelsey
These look delicious! Though I have to ask, have you ever had European Nutella? It’s much better than the US stuff. I’ve only just come to realize that since my stay in Europe. I’ve heard you can find it in the states, you just have to look for the glass jar at specialty stores. If you love Nutella, you’ll love the European stuff even more!
Barbara
I first fell in love with Nutella in Australia and when I came home I thought the Nutella here was a bit different. Still delicious, but not quite as rich maybe. So fun that you confirmed my suspicion.
Kat
This was a great recipe! They came out with a crisp outside and a warm nutella inside. It was to die for! Thanks for the recipe!
Barbara
Thanks Kat! So glad you loved them.
Jared

I was looking to bake something under the guise of a blog-giveaway, and after a quick Google search the winner chose these delicious cookies. We’re all big fans of peanut butter blossoms, but these cookies definitely take it to a whole new level! Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe – it is my new go-to for sure!
I’ve linked back to you as well (even though I’m not a baking blog), because the world needs to know 🙂
