Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup brownie batter
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350F and grab a baking sheet.
- Blend 1 cup peanut butter with 1 cup brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar until silky smooth.
- Crack 2 large eggs and pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in ½ cup flour, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir until just combined.
- Dollop prepared brownie batter across your cookie mixture in random spoonfuls.
- Take a knife and create artistic swirls, blending brownie batter into cookie dough without completely mixing.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the swirled dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Slide the sheet into the 350F oven and bake precisely 10-12 minutes until edges look set and centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest directly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack using a spatula, allowing them to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and help the swirl pattern stay distinct.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free baking blend that maintains the cookie’s soft texture.
- Ensure your brownie batter isn’t too runny when swirling, or it will blend completely into the cookie dough instead of creating a marbled effect.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, separating layers with parchment paper to preserve their shape and prevent sticking.
