Nutella-Peanut Butter Cookies

Nutella-Peanut Butter Cookies

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup crisp rice cereal
3/4 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup sem-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup Nutella

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together butter and brown sugar until creamy - about 1 minute. Beat in egg, baking soda, salt and vanilla until combined. Beat in cereal, oats and chocolate chips until combined. Beat in flour until just combined.

Divide half of the dough into an additional large bowl. Beat peanut butter into one bowl of dough until combined. Beat Nutella into other bowl of dough until combined.

Line up doughs, side-by-side, on plastic wrap. Wrap in plastic wrap and roll into an even log. Unwrap plastic wrap and slice dough into rounds, 1/2-inch thick. Place dough slices on cookie sheets, spacing about an inch apart. Bake 11-12 minutes or until firm and slightly crisp. Cool 2 minutes before trasferring cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
