Ingredients
Scale
- For the Peanut Butter Dough:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- For the Brownie Dough:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Make the peanut butter dough: Beat peanut butter, softened butter, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine with wet ingredients until just mixed.
- Make the brownie dough: Whisk melted butter and sugar together. Mix in cocoa powder until smooth, then add egg and vanilla. Fold in flour, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips until fully incorporated.
- Chill both doughs for 30 minutes.
- Scoop 1–2 tablespoon portions of each dough side by side onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl into a marbled pattern.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes until edges are set and tops are lightly crackly. Centers will remain soft.
- Cool on baking sheet for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overbake — the centers should stay soft for a fudgy texture.
- Chilling helps prevent spreading and keeps the swirl pattern defined.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
