Nutella® Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (such as Natural Jif)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 53 pretzel sticks, crushed
• 3 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Mix 2 cups and 2 tablespoons flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.

Beat brown sugar and butter together in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy; add egg, egg yolk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Slowly pour flour mixture into sugar mixture and stir just until dough is combined; fold in pretzels and chocolate-hazelnut spread.

Drop dough onto a baking sheet using 2 spoons.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes; rotate baking sheet and continue baking until cookies are fully cooked and still soft in the middle, about 7 minutes more. Cool cookies on baking sheet for about 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
