Nutella® Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies

This is an easy base recipe. Feel free to mix up the flavors! Leave out the peanut butter for any allergies. Instead of Nutella® and pretzels, try white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.

  3. Beat brown sugar and butter together in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy; add egg, egg yolk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Slowly pour flour mixture into sugar mixture and stir just until dough is combined; fold in pretzels and chocolate-hazelnut spread.
