Peanut Butter and Nutella Cookies

These are great and very easy!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup self-rising flour (see note)
1 and 1/2 tablespoons self rising flour added to above
1/2 cup oats
2 heaping tablespoons Nutella
2 heaping tablespoons smooth peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 Grease a baking sheet with butter.

Beat butter and brown sugar. Add the egg and beat thoroughly.

Add the flour and oats and mix well. Add the Nutella and peanut butter but don't mix too thoroughly -- you want them swirly.

Drop by tablespoons onto the buttered baking sheet Leave space between because they spread during cooking. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Let cool 5 minutes or so before removing from baking sheet (otherwise they will fall apart). Finish cooling on a rack. Store in airtight container for up to a week.

Recipe says makes 10-12 but I usually get around 20 or so.

Note on self-rising flour:

I never have this but here is an easy substitute: one cup of self-rising flour equals 1 cup all-purpose flour plus 1 and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
