Nutella swirl chocolate chip cookies

(adapted from Kirbie’s Cravings who adapted it from Just Jenn)

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup Nutella
• 1 cup chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl.
3. In a separate bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar and the brown sugar. Add the eggs and the vanilla and mix on medium speed until combined.
4. Add in the flour mixture on low speed until combined.
   
5. Mix in the chocolate chips. Using a large wooden spoon, stir in the Nutella, letting it swirl throughout the batter. Don’t over stir if you want a marbling effect on your cookies.
6. Scoop dough and roll between your palms to shape into 1 inch balls and drop onto baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
7. Bake for about 10 minutes. Remove cookies from tray and let them cool on wire racks.

NOTE: Made these this morning, Larry isn't even up yet! As you can see from the pictures, I did not use chocolate chips. I used chopped up leftover Palmer's peppermint patties, they were from Easter. Yes, Easter was in April, it's now June, but irregardless.....they were BANGIN'! I thought the peppermint white insides would melt into the batter, but they didn't and held up quite nice.
