Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark works)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (natural recommended)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
  2. Make the Brownie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined. Gradually sift in the cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and all-purpose flour. Stir until the dough comes together. Set aside.
  3. Make the Peanut Butter Dough: In another mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and creamy peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the dough is smooth and pliable.
  4. Combine the Doughs: Scoop about a tablespoon of each dough and gently press them together. Roll the combined dough into a ball, then gently flatten it to create the cookie shape. Use a butter knife or toothpick to swirl the two doughs for a marbled effect.
  5. Bake: Place the cookies spaced apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft. Keep an eye on them—they can overbake quickly!
  6. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Serve warm or store for later.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough for 20 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.’, ‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid dense cookies.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for smooth mixing and even baking.’, ‘Avoid over-swirling the dough to maintain the marbled effect.’, ‘If cookies seem doughy, bake for an extra minute or two.’]
