Instructions
- Prepare the Oven:
-
Step 1- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dough:
-
Step 2- Melt the butter and combine ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter in 20-second bursts until melted. Add the peanut butter and stir until well combined. Add in the sugars and whisk together. Set aside to cool until just warm.
-
Step 3- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
Step 4- Finish the Dough: To the cooled butter mixture, add the eggs, milk, and vanilla and whisk very well until thoroughly combined. Add the flour mixture and stir with a sturdy spatula until combined.
-
Step 5- Form Cookies: Using a large spring-loaded cookie scoop, form the dough into 3-tablespoon rounds. Roll between your palms to smooth. Using your thumb, create a well in the center. Add 1 generously heaping teaspoon of Nutella and only slightly seal it with dough. Keep a generous amount of Nutella visible. This process is a bit messy, but have fun with it! Place on baking sheet with the visible Nutella facing up. Repeat with remaining dough balls, spacing about 3 inches apart.
-
Step 6- Bake the Cookies: Bake for about 14 minutes, or until lightly brown at the edges.
-
Step 7- Cool the Cookies: Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before removing them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
-
Step 8- Store the Cookies: Store cookies in an airtight container for up to two days. The longer they sit, the softer they'll become.
