Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Cookie Dough
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup brownie batter
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the baking soda, salt, and flour until just combined; be careful not to over-mix.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: If using a brownie mix, prepare it according to the package instructions in a separate bowl. For homemade brownies, prepare your favorite brownie batter.
- Form Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop a spoonful of the peanut butter cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Add a dollop of brownie batter on top of the cookie dough.
- Swirl Batter: Gently swirl the brownie batter into the peanut butter dough using a toothpick or the tip of a knife, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Add Chocolate Chips: If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the cookies right after removing them from the oven for added sweetness and texture.
Notes
- Be careful not to over-mix the dough to keep cookies tender.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack for best texture.
- Adding chocolate chips on top after baking enhances sweetness and texture.
