Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 plus 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • ½ cup melted chocolate
  • ¼ cup chopped toasted peanuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180F. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking liners or parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined.
  • Mix in peanut butter then blend in egg and vanilla. With mixer set on low speed slowly add in flour mixture and mix just until combined.
  • Scoop dough out and shape into balls then place on baking sheets spacing them 2-inches apart. Using a fork create a criss-cross pattern on top of the cookies.
  • Bake cookies 9-10 minutes until light golden.
  • Let cool on baking sheet 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Pipe the Nutella in a thin and even layer on half of the cookies and top with the other half.
  • Dunk half of each cookie into the chocolate and place on a tray lined with parchment paper. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle on the chopped peanuts.
  • Place the cookies back in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Then enjoy!
