These Peanut Butter Nutella Swirl Cookies are easy to make and chock full of deliciousness. Nothing beats homemade peanut butter cookies!
Honestly, this girl is a serious cookie fanatic and these peanut butter nutella swirl cookies are one of my favourites of all time.
I mean, who doesn't love peanut butter cookies?
No one! That's who!
This recipe was concocted using another cookie recipe, Momzie's Peanut Butter Cookie recipe. I actually started playing around with it and as a result of some experimenting these peanut butter Nutella swirl cookies were invented.
Honestly, these cookies are so easy to make. They are totally fool proof.
Basically, you just roll out the two kinds of dough then slap one on top of the other. After that you roll them up and slice them.
I mean, how easy is that? It's so simple!
In fact, you can also just mash bits together if you are too lazy to roll them out. Whatever works for you.
Make these as soon as possible and let me know what you think of them!
Ingredients
- Peanut Butter - Use smooth peanut for this recipe.
- Butter - I tend to use salted butter for cookies but you can use either salted or unsalted.
- Sugar - This recipe uses both granulated white sugar and brown sugar.
- Eggs - Use large eggs for these cookies.
- Extract - I used vanilla extract for this recipe. You could also use almond extract.
- Flour - Use all purpose flour for these cookies.
- Baking Soda AND Baking Powder - I used both for this particular cookie recipe so the texture was exactly how I wanted it.
- Salt - This helps enhance the flavour of the cookies. Do not omit unless you have problems with sodium.
- Nutella - Hazelnut spread is a must for this recipe.
How to Make Peanut Butter Nutella Swirl Cookies:
Peanut Butter Portion:
- First, cream the peanut butter, butter and sugars by hand, or in a mixer.
- Then, blend in the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
- Next, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix really well.
- After that, divide the cookie dough in half. Cover one and pop it in the fridge.
Nutella Portion:
- First, grab the remaining half of the dough and pop it in the mixer, add the Nutella, turn mixer on and blend until it's combined well.
- Next, place the mixture in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for an hour.
Putting It Together:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Next, remove the cookie doughs from the fridge.
- Sprinkle some flour on your work surface and roll out the peanut butter dough.
- Then, roll out the Nutella dough.
- Next, place peanut butter dough on top of the Nutella dough.
- Roll the two up into a log. It's okay if it's not perfect.
- Then, use a knife or cutter and slice the cookie dough log into pieces.
- Next, place the cookies on the parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Then, place the cookies in the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Lastly, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on wire rack.
- Serve, store or eat 'em all!

Peanut Butter & Nutella Swirl Cookies
Ingredients
For the Peanut Butter Portion:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
For the Nutella Portion:
- 1 cup Nutella this gets added to the dough once it's divided, explained below
Instructions
For the Peanut Butter Portion:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cream peanut butter, butter, and sugars together in a stand mixer (or use a bowl and hand mixer).
- Blend in eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
- Add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, combine thoroughly.
- Now divide the dough in half, cover one and set it in the fridge.
For the Nutella Portion:
- Using half of the peanut butter dough you just divided stick it back in the mixer, add 1 cup of nutella and give the mixer a whirl till it combines well.
- Place in a bowl, cover it and stick in the fridge for about an hour.
Putting it together:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Remove dough from the fridge.
- Sprinkle some flour on your work surface and roll out the peanut butter dough.
- Now roll out your nutella dough. You can do it separately and then place on top. Or if you're lazy like me you can just do it on top of the peanut butter portion and just adjust the sides with your hands if it makes it spread too much underneath. I'm a rebel.
- Now roll it up. It's okay if it's messy. These aren't called perfect swirl cookies.
- Once you roll the log up, take a cutter, I used a dough scraper for pizza, and cut them into cookie sized portions.
- Lay on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, starting to check around the 10 minute mark.
- Remove from oven and allow to coolfor a few minutes. (good luck with that!)
- Transfer to a wire cooling rack and let cool completely. (really, good luck with that)
- Serve with a big old "we love pb & nutella" smile!

Kesha
I would make some yummy chocolate chip cookies
Kim Beaulieu
Good choice Kesha.
lizzysdarcy
I'd like to make vanilla sugar cookies.
Kim Beaulieu
Those would be spectacular.
Elizabeth
I would have to try using some of the vanilla flavored oats in a Rhubarb dessert to start off the spring baking season!
Kim Beaulieu
I love that idea. Great use for vanilla oats.
Kathy R
I would totally make these cookies first!
Kim Beaulieu
I sort of love you right now.
The Mom Chef ~ Taking on Magazines One Recipe at a Time
I'm so jealous. So, so jealous. I've seen you guys posting about your time at the retreat and am so jealous. I wish I could have gone. Really, really badly. Maybe some day.
These cookies look phenomenal. Even though I'm not a chocolate fan, I adore Nutella and anything hazelnut. Paired with peanut butter? Be still my heart!
Have a blast at Universal!
Kim Beaulieu
We have to get you to one. I'd love to meet you in person.
I know right. They are so good.
We had way too much fun. I came home exhausted.
Brenda Van Wert
Probably something new like Vanilla Scones with a vanilla glace. Yum!
Kim Beaulieu
I like that idea.
john@kitchenriffs
Sounds like you had a wonderful time! On the way home you might want to schedule a stop in Ocala (about an hour, hour and a half northish of Orlando). It's one of the major horse raising areas in the US (not Kentucky, but close). Your sort of place. And these cookies would definitely find a place in my stomach! Great stuff - thanks.
Kim Beaulieu
I would love to visit Ocala. I have some friends who bring their horses down for the winter. Not sure we'll have time but we're thinking we might plan a trip next year on our own. Conferences don't leave a ton of time for other things so a family vacation here with no commitments would be great. I'd love to spend some in Ocala and then some in Jacksonville to visit some friends.
Hope you're well. Can't wait to get home and catch up on what you've been up to in the kitchen.
Terri C
Would make sugar cookies!
Kim Beaulieu
I love sugar cookies.
Maureen | Orgasmic Chef
You lucky, lucky women! I'm so envious that you all got to meet. I wish I was independently wealthy and could afford to fly over for events like that.
Kim Beaulieu
I think we need to work on making you independently wealthy lady. Or at least find you a great sponsor. I'd love to meet you.
Cindy @Hun... What's for Dinner?
I would make vanilla custard or creme brulee
Kim Beaulieu
Both awesome choices.
Shelly
I think I'd make sugar cookies!
Kim Beaulieu
I think sugar cookies would be perfect with vanilla stuff in them.
Colette @ JFF!
I love cookies that talk back!
Kim Beaulieu
Me too. Sassy cookies.
Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie
I LOVE peanut butter and Nutella together! Must have these cookies.
Kim Beaulieu
Me too!
Ruth Dev
I would either make a facial mask with the oats, these cookies or some butterscotch sauce.... 😀
Kim Beaulieu
I love the idea of a facial mask. And cookies with butterscotch sauce sounds so good.
Denise Wilson
Vanilla cupcakes
Kim Beaulieu
Perfection!
Nami | Just One Cookbook
I hope you will share about your trip - I'm eager to hear about it. 🙂 YUM I love Nutella and I made my first "swirl" with Nutella for muffins a few weeks ago. I know I never "swirl" anything before. Haha. Love your cookie shot. Pinned! 🙂
Kim Beaulieu
I shall share it next week Nami. I'm still sifting through photos. I may need to make it a 2 or 3 part series there's so many.
Swirling is fun but stressful. I love when it works. Thanks Nami!
Asiya @ Chocolate and Chillies
I would make cookies! Hope you have a safe flight back!
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks Asiya. We had so much fun. We actually drove, which was exhausting (20+ hours each way) but fun.
Jocelyn (Grandbaby Cakes)
These swirl cookies are the cutest things ever. And peanut butter and nutella sound like a match made in heaven!
Kim Beaulieu
Thanks so much Jocelyn.
Kayle (The Cooking Actress)
I'd prob make some more vanilla extract!
KEEP BEHAVING LUNE'S TUMMY!
I wanted to cry seeing all the Disney fun you guys were having (IWAS/AMSOJEALOUSSSS) and now you're at Universal too! Ahhhhh I hope you're having soo much fun!
Kim Beaulieu
Perfect thing to do with vanilla beans.
Ha, it behaved some of the time. Other times not so much. But I muddled through. Had an absolute blast.
Tricia
Some sort of cookes.....
Kim Beaulieu
Cookies are perfect.
