Description
These swirled brownie cookies offer the best of both worlds: rich, fudgy brownie and soft, chewy peanut butter cookie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- For the brownie dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
- For the peanut butter dough: In another medium bowl, beat together creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, egg yolk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- Stir in 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt until just combined.
- Take small spoonfuls of each dough (about 1 tablespoon of each) and place them side by side. Gently swirl them together with a knife or toothpick to create a marbled effect.
- Roll the swirled dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overbake the cookies to keep them soft and chewy.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
