Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter for about 20 seconds until it’s easier to swirl.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out the brownie cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop.
- Drop small spoonfuls of peanut butter on top of each cookie dough scoop.
- Using a toothpick or a knife, gently swirl the peanut butter into the brownie dough to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add 1/4 cup of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the cookie dough.
- Substitute almond butter for peanut butter for a different nutty flavor or to accommodate nut allergies.
