Ingredients

For the Peanut Butter Cookie Dough:

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Brownie Dough:

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chip


Instructions

  • Make the Peanut Butter Dough:
    Beat peanut butter, softened butter, and brown sugar until creamy.
    Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  • Make the Brownie Dough:
    In another bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth.
    Add egg and vanilla extract. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.

  • Assemble Cookies:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment.
    Combine small portions of both doughs and roll into 1.5-inch balls. Place on baking sheet 2 inches apart.
    Flatten gently to keep swirl visible.

  • Bake & Cool:
    Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers slightly soft.
    Cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.


Notes

  • Chill dough for 15–20 minutes if it feels too soft for handling.

  • For an extra treat, press more chocolate chips on top before baking.

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
