Description
Delicious cookies combining the rich flavors of peanut butter and chocolate in a delightful swirl.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for swirl)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for swirl)
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter (for swirl)
- 1 large egg (for swirl)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for swirl)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, whisking them together thoroughly. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the creamy peanut butter and chocolate chips.
- For the chocolate swirl, mix the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract in another bowl until smooth.
- Take spoonfuls of the cookie dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each mound. Create a swirl by adding a teaspoon of the chocolate mixture on top of each cookie dough ball.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are firm but the centers remain slightly soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra touch, sprinkle a hint of sea salt on top before baking.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips for unique flavors.
