It’s Cookie Friday once again! Yay! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve written that here – quite a few times, I imagine. Today, I’ve got some rather special cookies: Peanut Butter & Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies. These are classic American-style cookies that really pack a punch – and by punch I don’t mean alcohol, but rather all those calories they bring along!

Well… as the name suggests, Cookie Friday means fresh cookies every single week. Today’s treat is for anyone who loves peanut butter, Nutella, or chocolate – a combination that, or so I’ve heard, appeals to quite a few people!
Personally, I’ve always been a sucker for the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. I know it’s not for everyone. Not everyone is a fan of that salty-sweet mix, but I find it absolutely delicious. A cookie like this hits so many taste buds at once. In this case the saying is right – more really is more!

Of course, not everyone has the same taste, but luckily, our blog offers something for just about everyone. If you’re still searching for your perfect cookie, you’re bound to find it in our dedicated cookie section. Just check it out.
Well. Today’s cookies are classic stuffed cookies, similarly to the kind you’d find in many US bakeries. Each chocolate chip cookie hides a generous dollop of peanut butter inside, with an extra touch of Nutella for good measure. I love this combination, but if you’d rather skip the Nutella – for whatever reason – you can easily swap it for another chocolate spread. There are plenty of great alternatives that work just as well!
When the cookies are still warm – either fresh out of the oven or briefly heated in the microwave – the center remains soft or even liquid, oozing out beautifully when you take a bite, as you can see in the photos. Mmmmmm… The filling also keeps the cookies wonderfully moist. An absolute dream!
You should definitely try these delicious cookies. If not with this particular combination, then with another one. Just take a look at our collection of cookie recipes…
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
(15-16 cookies)
4.2 oz. (120g) butter
10.6 oz. (300g) brown sugar*
2.1 oz. (60g) cocoa powder*
2 medium eggs
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking powder
9 oz. (260g) all-purpose flour*
3.5 oz. (100g) milk chocolate chips*
5.3 oz. (150g) Nutella*
5.3 oz. (150g) peanut butter*
(15-16 Cookies)
120g Butter
300g brauner Zucker*
60g Kakaopulver*
2 Eier (M)
1/4 TL Salz
3/4 TL Backpulver
260g Mehl (Type 405)*
100g Vollmilch Schokoladendrops*
150g Nutella*
150g Erdnussbutter*


DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Prepare a wooden board or similar with baking parchment or plastic wrap. Use a spoon and place 15-16 portions of Nutella on the prepared board (a heaping teaspoon each) and a portion of peanut butter on top – place in the freezer and let freeze for about one hour. It has to get harder, but not completely frozen.
2. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment and set aside. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Take off the heat, add the brown sugar and mix until well combined. Add the eggs and mix. Add cocoa powder, salt and baking powder and mix in. Next, add the flour and mix until combined – do not overmix. Add the chocolate chips and fold them in.
3. Take one heaped tablespoon of dough and press in a piece nutella-peanut-butter filling. Cover the filling with a flattened tablespoon of dough and seal the edges.
4. Place the dough pieces with some space in between on the baking sheets and bake the cookies for about 8-12 minutes. Take them out of the oven and let them cool down on the baking sheets for some time then transfer them to a wire rack and let them cool down completely.
1. Ein Holzbrett oder Ähnliches mit Backpapier oder Plastikfolie belegen. Mit einem Löffel 15-16 kleine Portionen Nutella auf dem Brett platzieren (ein Teelöffel etwa) und darauf dann jeweils etwas Erdnussbutter – alles zusammen für etwa 1 Stunde in den Gefrierschrank stellen. Es soll fest werden, muss aber nicht durchfrieren.
2. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Zwei Backbleche mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Die Butter in einem mittelgroßen Topf schmelzen. Vom Herd nehmen und dann den braunen Zucker zugeben und unterrühren. Eier zugeben und verrühren. Kakao, Salz und Backpulver zugeben und verrühren. Das Mehl zugeben und solange rühren, bis sich alles verbunden hat (aber nicht zu viel rühren!). Die Schokodrops zugeben und unterheben.
3. Für einen Cookie jeweils etwa einen gehäuften Esslöffel vom Teig nehmen und ein Stück der gefrosteten Nutella-Erdnussbutter Füllung hineindrücken. Mit einer weiteren, etwa esslöffelgroßen Portion Teig bedecken und dann alles zusammendrücken. Die Füllung sollte vollkommen vom Teig umschlossen sein, damit beim Backen nichts ausläuft.
4. Die Cookies mit etwas Abstand zueinander auf die Bleche setzen und dann für etwa 8-12 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und noch etwas auf dem Blech liegen lassen – zum kompletten Auskühlen auf ein Kuchengitter legen.
