Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Peanut Butter Swirl:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt butter and chocolate: Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave. Let cool slightly.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture.
- Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the wet mixture.
- Form cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheets. Add a dollop of peanut butter on top of each cookie and swirl gently.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set. Cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- For added texture, consider folding in chocolate chips or chopped peanuts.
- Be careful not to overbake to maintain a fudgy center.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
