Peanut Butter Chocolate (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Peanut Butter Dough

01 - 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter
02 - 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
03 - 1/4 cup white sugar
04 - 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
05 - 1/2 of a large egg
06 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla
07 - 3/4 cup plain flour
08 - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
09 - 1/8 teaspoon table salt

→ Brownie Dough

10 - 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
11 - 1/2 cup white sugar
12 - 1/2 of a large egg
13 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla
14 - 1/3 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
15 - 1/2 cup plain flour
16 - 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
17 - 1/8 teaspoon salt

# Instructions:

01 - Beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a big bowl until the mixture is fluffy and light (around 3-4 minutes). Toss in the egg and vanilla and mix until it’s smooth. In another bowl, stir the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Slowly add these to the wet stuff, mixing just until blended. Set it aside.
02 - In a second large bowl, whisk melted butter with sugar until it’s combined. Mix in the egg and vanilla thoroughly. Then, sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt, and gently stir these into the wet blend until you’ve got smooth dough.
03 - Turn on the oven and set it to 350°F (175°C). Cover a baking tray with parchment. Grab one tablespoon each of the peanut butter and brownie doughs, then push them together into one ball. Twist lightly so the swirls keep their shape—don’t mix too much!
04 - Arrange the dough balls on the lined tray, keeping about two inches of space between each one. Let them bake for 10-12 minutes, stopping when the edges are firm but the middle still feels soft.
05 - Leave the cookies to sit on the tray for five minutes, then move them to a cooling rack to finish completely.

# Notes:

01 - For better swirls, roll the dough balls between your hands right before popping them on the tray.
02 - Crack one egg, beat lightly, and split in two for more accurate egg portions.
03 - Don’t let the cookies bake too long. They firm up on the tray as they cool!
04 - Store these in a sealed container to keep them soft and chewy.
