How to Make Peanut Butter Nutella Sandwich Cookies

Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Chill the dough for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still be slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, spread about 1 teaspoon of Nutella onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie of similar size to create a sandwich.
Place the assembled cookies on a wire rack.
Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon shortening in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler.
Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies.
Let the chocolate set completely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
