👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Brownie Dough

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, both sugars, egg, and vanilla.

2. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.

3. Set aside or chill in the fridge for 20 minutes for easier handling.

Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Dough

1. In another bowl, cream together softened butter, peanut butter, and both sugars until smooth and fluffy.

2. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

3. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.

Step 3: Swirl & Scoop

1. Take about 1 tablespoon of each dough and gently swirl them together with your hands—don’t overmix or it will blend too much.

2. Roll into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat for the rest of the dough.

Step 4: Bake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Slightly flatten each cookie dough ball.

3. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked.

4. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
