Ingredients
Scale
For the Peanut Butter Dough:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
For the Brownie Dough:
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Make the peanut butter dough: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Stir in the peanut butter until fully combined.
- Combine the doughs: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough in half. To one half, mix in the melted chocolate and cocoa powder to create the brownie dough.
- Form the cookies: Pinch off a bit of peanut butter dough and a bit of brownie dough, pressing them gently together and rolling into a ball. Slightly flatten and place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but centers are still soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips in the brownie dough.
- Cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months in an airtight container.
