Peanut Butter & Nutella Swirl Cookies

I hope that everyone reading this has heard of nutella.

nutella is a Hazelnut Spread that has a similar consistency to peanut butter. It is amazing! It is a great dessert spread or sometimes in our house makes a great breakfast spread on toast. I know it totally isn’t healthy but some mornings you just need some nutella. We have wrapped it up in crescent rolls, made Grilled Nutella & Raspberry sandwich, spread it on bananas, and the list goes on and on.

The one thing I haven’t done with nutella was make cookies and I can’t believe I haven’t. I love peanut butter cookies but with nutella added in these were taken to a new level. A must try if you enjoy nutella. I found this recipe over at Lovin’ From the Oven and it will now be a keeper in my house.
