Description

Indulge in the perfect combination of peanut butter and brownie with these Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl Cookies. These soft and chewy cookies are a delightful treat for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Brownie Batter:

  • 1/2 cup brownie batter (prepared from a boxed mix or homemade, cooled and thickened)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add peanut butter and wet ingredients: Mix in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  5. Shape and swirl: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough, gently flatten each, and top with a teaspoon of thickened brownie batter. Swirl the brownie batter into the dough using a toothpick or knife.
  6. Bake: Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make sure the brownie batter is thick enough to swirl; if too runny, chill it in the fridge before using.
  • You can also use store-bought brownie mix—just prepare a small portion and allow it to cool fully before swirling.
