almond butter nutella swirl cookies

This has been such a busy week, I can't believe I haven't written a post since Monday!

We have had beautiful 70 degree weather here all week.  The boys and I have been dreaming of what to plant in our garden.  My youngest wants tomatoes and eggplant and my oldest wants jellybeans and cotton candy. :)

I think my oldest has a sweet tooth like his Mama!

So what have I made to satisfy my sweets cravings this week?

Almond Butter Nutella Swirl Cookies
adapted from Delightful Bitefuls


1/2 c. unsalted butter at room temperature
3/4 c. smooth almond butter
1/2 c. white sugar
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1 farm fresh egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4  tsp. salt
13/4 c. flour
1/2 c. Nutella

Mix first 8 ingredients until smooth and fluffy.  Slowly sift in flour until well incorporated.  Stir in the Nutella just until you have a pretty swirl pattern.

Refrigerate dough for about 15-20 minutes. Then scoop out small dough balls onto lined cookie sheet and bake in 350 degree oven for about 7 minutes.

Enjoy.

  1. Wow! These look SO GOOD. Almond butter. Nutella?
    I have no reason to make them, but I might just have to. Because I have an unopened jar of nutella in my cabinet!

  4. These look delicious. I have a jar of nutella I can put to good use for these but where do you get almond butter and what's a reasonable price for it? Thanks!

  5. Yum-o. I love almond butter and I love cookies, so here we go--must try this one. We made some oat-flour chocolate chip cookies today, and I over indulged a bit. Aren't cookies wonderful? :)

  14. Amelia, I made these cookies tonight and OMG, I love these! I've made many, many cookies and these are one of the best I've made this year. Maybe the best out of all of last year too, lol. I'm writing these up on my blog and referring back to yours so people can get the recipe. Thanks so much for posting this.

  16. was that supposed to be 1-3/4 cup flour or 3/4?

  17. just made these!!
    i used chunky almond butter instead of smooth and could be the reason why my batter was too dry and crumbly
    i ended up scooping it into my hands and using my body heat to roll into balls
    maybe i could use a splash of almond milk to help out next time...
    either way, AMAZING! super super yummy.
    thanks for sharing!
