These cookies are the perfect combination of flavors… sea salt, velvety Nutella and crunchy peanut butter. Hello my lovely! I also used a really healthy nut-packed, flax seed packed peanut butter for extra healthy fats.

Description

These cookies combine the rich flavors of Nutella and crunchy peanut butter, topped with a hint of sea salt for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Units Scale

1 cup crunchy peanut butter (I used Nutzo brand but any crunchy nut butter would work)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon flax seed meal
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup Nutella
Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpats. Set aside.
In your stand mixer with the paddle attachment, blend the peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, flax seed meal, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using a fork, press down lightly on each cookie to create a crisscross pattern.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, spread a generous amount of Nutella on the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.
Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie sandwich.

Notes

For extra healthy fats, use a nut-packed, flax seed-packed peanut butter. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can substitute almond butter if you prefer a different nut flavor.
