Learn how to make delicious Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl Cookies. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
If you’re out of certain ingredients, don’t fret! You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter or use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet ones. I’ve always believed in making the best of what you have on hand, a habit from those college days of whipping up dinners from whatever was in the pantry.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Divide the mixture evenly into two separate bowls.
- In one bowl, stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
- In the other bowl, add the cocoa powder and milk, mixing until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Take a small amount of each mixture and gently combine them in your hand, forming a swirl pattern. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft. Remember, they will continue to firm up on the baking sheet.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
The smell of these baking in the oven is pure bliss, a scent that reminds me of home and those bustling Wednesday dinners with friends, where everyone felt like family.
