Flourless Peanut Butter Nutella S’Mores Sandwich Cookies
Flourless Peanut Butter Nutella S’Mores Sandwich Cookies are ridiculously fun, ridiculously good, ridiculously large (if we are being perfectly honest), and it would be ridiculously silly if you didn’t make them! Nutella and marshmallow buttercream, sandwiched between two super peanut-buttery cookies.
Food blogger secret – make one basic recipe, split it up and make several variations. Then, spread the posts out just enough, or use one as a guest post on someone else’s blog, and WHAM – holiday time saver! Sorry, it’s that time of year, we all have to cut corners. And I’ll tell you, you can probably cut corners with this recipe and use a jar of marshmallow fluff, but the marshmallow buttercream is just one of the most unique and fun recipes I’ve tried, so give it a shot.
And then get ready to have your mind blown. Flourless peanut butter cookies just have the most intense peanut butter flavor, and since they are tender and not too sweet, they are perfect for sandwiching gooey, chocolaty Nutella and a fluffy marshmallow buttercream. This is seriously like a bite (a very large bite – these aren’t dainty cookies) of heaven, because I don’t know about you, but my version of heaven has marshmallow clouds, and flowing rivers of peanut butter and chocolate. Basically, you know, Willy Wonka.
Another holiday time saver – make up a batch of Flourless Peanut Butter Nutella S’Mores Sandwich Cookies, wrap them up individually with some pretty cellophane and ribbon, and freeze them.
If you receive an unexpected gift or overnight guest, wrap a couple up with a cute holiday mug and some hot cocoa mix. They are actually pretty easy to make, and once you get the assembly line going, don’t take very long, either. But they look impressive and taste, well, as I said… ridiculous!!
Do you have a good basic cookie dough recipe that you use to make several different varieties?

I would definitely make the recipe above. Those look amazing! Currently not having a food processer makes me unwillingly skip over recipes like this, which I hate doing 🙁 trying to make recipes without a food processor and a blender and just using my hands doesn’t always turn out in my favor, and is just a pain in the butt.
Sarah says
Peanut butter or almond butter

Brianne Izzo says
Nutella makes everything better 🙂
Rae says
These looks so easy and yummy! I can’t wait to try the marshmellow frosting! How oozy is it? Would it hold up on cupcakes?
If I won the food processor id make a nice dense cheesecake and then some of my mom’s lemon squares
Brianne Izzo says
The marshmallow frosting is pretty firm, but it does seem to hold up a little better in the fridge. I put it on some cookie cups which you will see tomorrow.
