Each morning, I pop in my cardio dance workout DVD and get my groove on. Dancing not only is an excellent exercise, it allows me to enjoy these peanut butter cookies, which always brings a smile to my face!
And another thing that brings a smile to my face is, Nutella peanut cookie sandwiches. Even if I have to dance 30 minutes longer the next morning, it’s entirely worth it!

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE ON HOW TO MAKE THESE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES:
PRE-STEP: Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside. STEP 1: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large sized bowl. Set aside. STEP 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter and butter until creamy. STEP 3: Beat in the sugars until well blended. Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla. STEP 4: Gently add butter mixture to the dry mixture, mixing both together until almost combined. DO NOT OVERMIX! Fold in peanut butter chips. STEP 5: Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough into balls about 2 Tablespoons each. Roll each dough ball into the sugar and place onto prepared baking sheet. Press each ball with a fork to create a criss-cross pattern. STEP 6: Bake for 11-14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheets for 5-10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely * Baked cookies and cookie dough balls can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Nutella® hazelnut spread is a happy start to every day! Pick up a jar of Nutella in the spreads aisle and enjoy it with whole wheat toast, waffles, pancakes, strawberries, bananas and many other foods. Nutella. Spread the Happy™.

I just made these tonight and they were the best pb cookies I have ever made! I had to make them with unbleached white whole wheat flour, because that is all I had (why, I’m not sure lol), and I used brown sugar to sprinkle on them instead of rolling in white. They were the perfect amount of salty, sweet, and chewy, which led to me having about six of them! Ugh, so good.

Thanks, Carla! I have got asked that same question SO many times….and I always say it’s all thanks to my husband taking them with him to work, so I don’t have that temptation to eat all the goodies in the house. But if I do when a couple cookies I wont feel guilty because I did my dance workouts…Zumba is so fun! 🙂
