Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter .... Have never been able to acquire a taste for it. My kids love it ... specially, peanut butter cookies. I use this recipe but I add a little Nutella to the batter. I do enjoy these cookies once in a while.... but my kids love them! 






Adapted from Saveur

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cups flour

1/4 dark brown sugar

1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
