Recipe Added:  9/2/2012
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup peanut butter
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2½ cups flour
1½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
Nutella Filling
½ cup cream cheese
½ cup marshmallow cream
½ cup Nutella

Peanut Butter Filling
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla
3-4 Tbsp milk
Preheat oven to 350F. Place butter and sugars in a large bowl and beat several minutes until fluffy. Add peanut butter and beat for a few more seconds until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and beat another few seconds until combined.

In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and, using a rubber spatula, gently fold to combine. Do not over-stir.

Drop 1-inch balls (or use a small cookie scoop) onto a non-stick cookie sheet, pressing a criss-cross pattern into them with a fork. Bake 8-9 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet 3 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Peanut Butter Filling  Place cream cheese, marshmallow cream and Nutella in a bowl and beat until combined. Using a butter knife, spread filling on bottom side of one cookie and place another cookie on top.
Notes
May use Peanut Butter Filling or plain Nutella for filling.
