Mmmmm…cookies! Who doesn’t love a nice peanut butter cookie? Well, aside from the unfortunate souls who have peanut allergies, I mean! I love peanut butter cookies and they are so easy to make! I even have a really fun 3 ingredient peanut butter cookie recipe that is gluten free if you omit the chocolate chips! Granted, nothing goes together like peanut butter and chocolate, except for maybe peanut butter and jelly. But I haven’t tried my hand at making peanut butter and jelly cookies yet!
But I digress.
That happens a lot when I start thinking about cookie recipes!
This Peanut Butter Cookies with Hazelnut Frosting is a new twist on a classic treat, and will be sure to please kiddos with a sweet tooth!

These cookies look ah-mazing and I LOVE that you topped them with hazelnut frosting!
I’m strange, I know, but I’m not a big cookie eater, but these look amazing!
Delicious – I’m all about that flavor combination. I’ve done something similar with Nutella sandwiched between peanut butter cookies.
Mmm, I haven’t had peanut butter cookies since Christmas.
That looks delicious. I love anything Hazelnut!
Those look delicious! I love peanut butter cookies, but tried them with any type of frosting – yum.
I love hazelnut and peanut butter these look great!
These would be a HUGE hit in our home. Thank so much for this recipe. I can see why it’s been shared so many times. I’m about to add it to my Pinterest board to make the next time I get that baking itch.
I would never have thought of hazelnut frosting for a peanut butter cookie. We usually make peanut butter kiss cookies or plain peanut butter cookie.
Geez, these cookies look amazing. I would love to try the recipe.
Hazelnut is the most wonderful thing I could put in my mouth, so it’s a little dangerous, but soooooo good. I have to get it in small amounts or I’ll eat it all up, so if I ever visit and you have some to offer, you aren’t allowed to offer more than two max 😉
These cookies look delicious. I really want to try the hazelnut frosting!
Love the idea of combining these flavors. Will definitely be using that Hazelnut frosting recipe for other things as well.
These look delicious! I just wanted to say thankyou for linking up to What’s Cooking Wednesday last week…you are our featured recipe this week! http://www.turningclockback.com/2014/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-recipe-linky-60.html
I like your fun hazelnut twist on a classic pb cookie.
Thank you for linking with See Ya in the Gumbo. I guess my husband really loves your recipes–he also picked these cookies to feature tonight!
Two of my favorite things packed inside a cookie, which is another one of my favorite things, makes me VERY happy!
These look so yummy! I’m adding it to my list.
