Ingredients:

I love peanut ****er cookies, I love Nutella, and I was having trouble coming up with any other decent ideas for cookies so I decided to go with it. There's a lot of variety in peanut ****er cookie recipes and end results, so if you decide to try this you can use your favorite. I perfer the light and almost flaky style over the chewier chocolate chip cookie style, so I used a recipe that I knew would give me the results I desired (Alton Brown's, in this case.) I generally weigh all my ingredients when baking, but I'll provide volumetric measurements for those of you who are scale impaired.


Ingredients:

170g/0.75 cup unsalted ****er, softened
142g/0.75 cup granulated sugar
142/0.875 (7/8) cup brown sugar
39g/0.25 cup peanut or canola oil
142g/0.5 cup + 1 tsp chunky peanut ****er
142g/0.5 cup + 1 tsp Nutella
75g/scant 2 large beaten eggs*
4.5g/1 tsp vanilla extract
255g/1.875 (1 7/8) cup all purpose flour
3g/1.5 tsp baking soda
4.5g/0.75 tsp salt
Some extra granulated sugar for sprinkling on tops of cookies.


* The full recipe makes 6 dozen cookies, but my roommate and I don't need 6 dozen cookies sitting around so I always make a half batch. Everything else divides evenly except the eggs. The full batch calls for 3 large eggs, so if you used 2 medium eggs you could probably get really close. But we always have large eggs in the fridge, so I just use those and measure off around 75g.

And of course, you'll need the following equipment: A mixer of some sort or some elbow grease, cookie sheets, a fork, measuring cups and spoons, work bowls, a spoon or other utensil for dishing out the cookies, and a cooling rack.

Step 3:





Next measure the ****er. If you're like me and didn't have time to let it soften properly, cut into small chunks and microwave on low for 30 seconds or so.

Measure out the oil at this time as well.
