Peanut Butter and Nutella Sandwich Cookies

By Angela Sellari Jump to Recipe

Summer break is flying by much too quickly. I have taken a bit of a step back from work this summer to have more time with my family and it’s been marvelous.

So far my granddaughters have had a pretty fun summer with a visit to Stone Mountain Park, Six Flags in Atlanta, and Hilton Head Island. I have been able to find some great deals for local activities to keep us busy all summer long.

In the midst of beach vacations, amusement parks and summer blockbuster movies, it’s the little things that seem to make the more meaningful and happy summer memories. Doing crafts projects together, having a few friends over for an impromptu pool party, sitting on the back porch talking about the summer books we are reading are all beautiful summer memories.

Becca and Maddie had fun making Duct Tape tote bags a couple of weeks ago.

Sometimes all you have to do is splash around in the back yard to have fun.

Whipping up a batch of our favorite peanut butter cookies creates good memories.

Then spread on the happy with Nutella to make out of this world sandwich cookies. That’s what I’m talking about! Want to make your own Peanut Butter and Nutella Sandwich Cookies?
