Ingredients
- For the Peanut Butter Dough:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- For the Brownie Dough:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Make the Peanut Butter Dough: In a bowl, beat the peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Make the Brownie Dough: In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter and white sugar. Beat in the cocoa powder until smooth, then add the egg and vanilla extract. Fold in the flour, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips until no dry streaks remain.
- Chill the Doughs: Chill both doughs for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Scoop and Swirl: Scoop 1-2 tbsp portions of each dough and place them side by side on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the doughs together in a marble pattern.
- Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9-11 minutes, or until the tops are lightly crackly and the edges are just set. The centers will still be quite soft.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding some chopped peanuts to the peanut butter dough.
- These cookies will be soft when they come out of the oven, so be careful when transferring them.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
