Description
Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl Cookies are a decadent fusion of rich, fudgy brownie dough swirled with creamy peanut butter cookie dough. These cookies offer a perfect balance of chocolate and peanut butter flavors, with a soft center and slightly crisp edges.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Cover the dough and set it aside.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and white sugar until smooth. Stir in the cocoa powder, then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until the dough is thick and cohesive. Gently fold in the chocolate chips for a rich, chocolatey finish.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop a small amount of peanut butter dough and a small amount of brownie dough. Gently press them together to form a swirled ball. Roll the combined dough into a ball, keeping the swirls distinct. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each. Flatten the cookies slightly with your hand.
- Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers still appear soft. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
