Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to create a rich batter.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Add a teaspoon of peanut butter on top of each cookie dough dollop. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the peanut butter into the brownie base.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
